Teplice – Pardubice

Match analysis

Teplice host a struggling Pardus side in what promises to be a test of the home side’s ambitions to climb out of the mid‑table. Sitting eighth with 13 points from four wins, a draw and three defeats and an even 15‑15 goal record, Teplice will look to build on their recent form and push for a top‑six finish. Pardubice, languishing in 13th place with just five points after one win, two draws and five losses and a 7‑13 deficit, will need to tighten up at the back if they are to avoid another setback. The two clubs have yet to meet this season, so the encounter offers Teplice a chance to extend their lead over the lower half while Pardubice hopes to spark a revival and climb away from the relegation zone.
