Slovácko in control
Slovácko will take some stopping to win this game as they have already done so much to make sure the 4-1 first-leg thrashing of SK Artis Brno in last weekend’s away match of this promotion/relegation play-off is enough to seal their top-flight status for another year. According to our FC Slovacko vs SK Artis Brno prediction, the home side look to be favorites to maintain their advantage.
Roman Skuhravý’s men finished this season’s First League campaign in the relegation group after winning just seven and taking 30 points from their 35 regular-season games. It was a season of inconsistency and not much goal power, although both Gigli Ndefe and Patrik Blahút found the net in Brno, with the latter the side’s consistent threat.
Blahút has been a consistent attacking threat for Slovácko.
Skuhravý has brought stability to the club and a more disciplined approach to playing structured soccer, building from deep and with real pace and power at the point of transition.
Marek Havlík’s free-kick opened the scoring in the first-leg and he was the side’s most reliable player in the middle of the pitch, while their set-piece prowess was a key factor. For further insight, this FC Slovacko vs SK Artis Brno preview examines the key players and tactical battles.
Artis have work to do
Artis Brno have some great players, too, including 2. liga Golden Boot winner Quadri Adediran, their main threat.
Roman Nádvorník came in as head coach in March, bringing structure to an attacking team that likes to get men forward and run with the ball.
But there are defensive gaps when up against a side that can hold their shape and it is in this area that the visitors will have to improve if they are to mount an unlikely comeback.
Artis were in excellent form to finish up third in the 2. liga, but they have lost their last two, including the 4-1 thrashing to Slovácko. Based on the FC Slovacko vs SK Artis Brno betting tips circulating ahead of this fixture, Artis are clear underdogs but could still pose a threat if they tighten up at the back.
Nádvorník’s side have had little time to work on their flaws while Martin Pospíšil, their midfield boss, must keep the ball moving and Issa Fomba’s pace on the wing could be the biggest threat.
All is set for a warm, end-to-end match with both teams more than willing to push the pace, but Artis need three goals to at least force overtime and it is unlikely they can achieve that according to the latest FC Slovacko vs SK Artis Brno prediction.
