Liberec will need to be wary of Jablonec’s counter
Recent manager Luboš Kozel has introduced a structured gameplan that is focused on exploiting the transition phase, so Jablonec sets up with a compact back four and looks to get the ball forward quickly.
Liberec, on the other hand, are built around a double-pivot in midfield, which allows them to build from the back, control the centre of the field and not give the ball away cheaply.
Jablonec’s home form is steady, if not spectacular, but their attacking consistency is something to be admired - they have scored 21 goals in 14 home games.
Jan Chramosta, with nine goals in 25 1. Liga appearances, is their most reliable goal threat up top, but Liberec have a strong attacking player in form with Raimonds Krollis, who has scored two of his team’s last four.
Radoslav Kovač has done a good job of consolidating a team and they average 1.57 goals scored and 1.36 conceded per away game, so this should be an open match.
