A close contest at Dolicek Stadion
Pardubice come into this game after an extra-time 1-3 home defeat against MFK Karvina in the 1. Liga - Placement Playoffs 2026 last time out, while their away performance was a 2-2 draw against SK Rapid Wien in a Friendly Club Matches 2026 game.
Jan Trousil's men have shown a lot of grit of late, however, with their all-competitions form seeing them win six, draw two and lose just twice across their last ten outings.
Abdoullahi Tanko has been their main goal threat, with three of Pardubice's nine goals across their last five coming from the prolific marksmen's boots.
Jablonec will fancy their chances
Lubos Kozel's Jablonec have posted a more patchy form, winning just three of their last ten, drawing once and losing six. They did bounce back from a 3-2 away defeat to NK Varazdin in the UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 with a 2-1 home win over SK Sigma Olomouc in the 1. Liga 2026/2027, however.
Their form is a mixed bag, but one thing is for sure, they will fancy their chances against Pardubice on Sunday. Jablonec have won four of the last five head-to-head encounters, with Pardubice taking a single win and there have been no draws in that period.
Richard Sedlacek is the main man for Jablonec this season, having provided one assist in his one game in the 1. Liga 2026/2027.
Tight game predicted at Dolicek
Jablonec play a high-energy, high-pressing system with a three at the back system that involves their wingbacks overloading and getting forward in numbers. Meanwhile, Pardubice are more compact and vertical, looking to win the ball back quickly and counter.
As such, this game should be a good chess match in terms of styles, with Jablonec pressuring but Pardubice having a go at them on the break. Pardubice vs Jablonec preview suggests the odds are good for this one to be a tight match, but I feel there will be goals in this one, so over 2.5 goals at 1.87 and both teams to score at 1.66 is the pick.
Pardubice vs Jablonec betting tips point to Pardubice being in the better overall position to edge it at home, but Jablonec's head-to-head dominance sees me keep this close. A tight home win or draw looks the most likely outcome, so the odds should be even, but Pardubice are 2.6, Jablonec 2.82 and the draw 3.2, which is the way I am going.
