Recap
Jablonec defeated Brno (1:0) at the weekend and is definitely saved. The North Bohemians are no longer threatened by an unpredictable barrage. This should be good news for the penultimate Pardubice, who needs to win. East Bohemia will be driven forward by the full-packed CFIG Arena by great fans who have been coming all spring since the reopening of the stadium. The team is doing well mentally because they play under pressure all season, so the players are not extremely stressed. Coach Kováč’s team will enter with high motivation in the key match. Guests, on the other hand, could have problems with motivation. Players don’t want to get injured before the holidays, others will change the club in the summer or return to their parent clubs. In addition, Jablonec’s form during the entire spring was not optimal, especially in the last two months, and won only 1 point in the last 4 away games (0-1-3). Due to injuries Jovović (30/3), Kratochvíl (16/1), Houska (14/0), Krob (9/0), and Malínský (8/0) are unavailable. Pardubice has won twice out of the last three mutual matches and will be extremely motivated to take the three points.
