Sigma Olomouc vs Slavia Prague Prediction: Visitors can’t afford to lose

This Jupiler Pro League matchup for round 14 will take place at Cegeka Arena and will feature Genk playing host to Leuven. In their previous matchup, neither team was successful, so going into this one, they will be hoping for a different result.

As Sigma Olomouc prepares to take on Slavia Prague in this matchup, they are coming off a 1-1 draw in their previous match against Jablonec. Luká Juli was the only player from Sigma Olomouc to get his name on the scoresheet, which he did in the 18th minute. Jablonec got on the board in the fifth minute thanks to a goal by David Tpánek. In the six matches that came before this one, Václav Jlek's Sigma Olomouc scored a total of eight goals as a result of their shots on target, which works out to an average of 1.33 goals scored per game. In their previous two league matches, Sigma Olomouc has not been able to defeat Slavia Prague.

Slavia Prague come into this game on the back of a victory in their most recent Europa League match, which they won 2-0 against Roma. During that match, Slavia Prague had 47% possession of the ball and 19 shots on goal, with 6 of those shots hitting the target. Both Václav Jureka in the 50th minute and Luká Masopust in the 74th minute scored for Slavia Prague in the match. The opposition, Roma, had a total of 5 shots on goal, with only 2 of them finding the target. Jindich Trpiovsk's Slavia Prague have been rewarded for their attempts on goal a total of 8 times over the course of their most recent six matches, which has resulted in an average of 1.33 goals scored per game for the team. Slavia Prague has gone winless in their past eight league matches played away from home coming into this matchup.

Considering how well both teams have been performing as of late, this matchup seems to be a close one. On the other hand, Slavia Prague possesses a stronger roster than Sigma Olomouc does. Furthermore, the fact that Slavia Prague needs this game more than Sigma Olomouc leads me to believe that the away team will prevail in what should be a high-scoring contest.
