Pavel Hapal is the sort of manager who likes to get his team playing in a certain style, with Banik Ostrava typically playing a high-tempo game with lots of verticality, especially from the wide areas, and an aggressive pressing strategy. Zdenko Frtala’s Teplice are a disciplined unit with a compact shape and like to keep the ball, be patient in their build up and press selectively.
Teplice’s defensive resilience will be tested
The contrast between the two sides should be intriguing on Wednesday night, with Banik Ostrava looking to open up Teplice’s compact defensive block with their verticality whilst Teplice will try to patiently control the tempo and keep Banik at bay with their pressing. Furthermore, our FC Banik Ostrava vs FK Teplice prediction is that there will be a chess match element to this match with the winner likely being whoever can best control the transition phases of the game.
A home win for Banik Ostrava looks likely as the visitors have lost their last three league matches, all away from home, and have failed to earn a single point in their last five. Banik Ostrava will be the dominant side on the day with Teplice offering little going forward, which is one of the main FC Banik Ostrava vs FK Teplice betting tips to consider.
Ladislav Almasi is the main goal threat for the home side with two goals in four league matches this season, while John Auta leads the way for Teplice with a measly two league goals in six appearances.
Banik Ostrava’s defence is far from solid though, and given Teplice’s good organisation and compact nature, we think the ‘over 2.5 goals’ market might be of interest to gamblers here.
