Challenge

Jablonec suffered an away 1-0 loss from the title contender Viktoria Plzen. Their opponent opened the scoreline and despite their decent efforts and the missed chances that were more than Viktoria's, they didn't manage to find the net. That was the 3rd game without a win for Jablonec (0-1-2) and now they sit on 6th place of the tabl, but this is acceptable because they are close to secure a top-seven spot that gives a place to the championship playoffs. 

After three negative results, Teplice registered a home win, 3-2 over Opava. They opened the scoreline from the very beginning and before the halftime they scored another goal. Their opponent stroke back scoring twice for the 2-1 and the final 3-2, but they weren't actually a threat for Teplice. That win placed them away from the bottom six places that participate in the relegation playoffs, actually, they have 4 points less than the championship playoffs.

It's a game between two teams that have an only 8 points difference and they may both fight the championship playoffs for a European ticket. Jablonec have certainly a head start due to their home, but Teplice are strong in away games with a 3-4-5 record. The odds at the guests' win are close to 9.00, so I can't resist to the away win.
