Further back another defeat, 0-3 away at Piast Gliwice, and before that a 3-2 away win at Gornik Zabrze and a 5-0 home win over Wisla Plock. Baník Ostrava's recent run has been tougher: their last match was a 2-2 away draw with Slovácko, before a 1-2 home defeat to Pardubice. Further back two more defeats, 0-3 away at FK Jablonec and 0-4 away at Mlada Boleslav, and before that their only win of the five, 1-0 at home over Sigma Olomouc. The only previous meeting between the two sides dates back to September 2021, when Baník Ostrava won 2-0 away at GKS Katowice. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
