- AC Sparta Praha have won three of their last five matches (L2).
- Boleslav have won two of their last five (D1, L2).
Sparta's pressing game will be the matchup
Sparta boss Brian Priske plays a proactive, vertical style of soccer which involves high-pressing opponents, closing players down quickly, and looking to break with pace.
Aleš Majer has set up Boleslav in a compact 4-2-3-1 formation, while they're a team which will look to sit deep and get numbers behind the ball, looking to be a constant threat on the break.
That style clash screams tempo clash and Saturday's game at the Lokotrans Arena in Czechia will almost certainly be a tussle between Sparta's pressure and Boleslav's discipline. The visitors will look to squeeze the life out of the game and get their shots early, while Boleslav will sit deep and hope to catch out their visitors on the counter.
This preview suggests a fascinating battle of styles.
