Zlín trying to end a poor run
This FC Trinity Zlín vs FK Teplice preview focuses on two teams meeting in the middle of the 1. Liga table. Zlín are on a four-game losing streak and have won just one of their last five in the 1. Liga 2025-2026, slipping to 10th in the table on 31 points from 28 matches. Teplice are three places and two points below them in 13th after a run of four draws and one defeat from their last five.
Bronislav Cervenka took over as manager in October 2023 and has set up Zlín to be a defensive team, favouring the rigid 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1 systems, with a strong emphasis on structure, zonal marking and counter attacks from deep. Michal Cupak leads the line for Zlín with seven goals in 27 appearances in the league, but their defensive stability is founded upon the rock-solid presence of Dominik Simersky.
Teplice are a more creative and positive team under Zdenko Frtala, who has managed the club since March 2023. They’ve been set up to press and play in fluid systems and have the width and tempo to stretch teams and take the ball back from them. Michal Bilek has been their key player in the second half of the season with eight goals in 23 league appearances. They have the creative quality to play some excellent football at times, Daniel Fila has been particularly good at linking midfield transitions and supplying Bilek up top.
An open, fluid match-up anticipated
This FC Trinity Zlín vs FK Teplice prediction is more of a stylistic chess match than a rivalry. Zlín are a rigid, blocky team which looks to absorb pressure and counterattack, whereas Teplice are more pacey and fluid, trying to press and control the tempo. Zlín have won two of the last three against Teplice in the 1. Liga, winning 3-1 away eight months ago, but Teplice are undefeated in their last two trips to Zlín and this one looks set to be a back-and-forth affair.
