Petr Rada’s Jablonec welcome Juraj Jarabek’s Karvina to the Stadion Strelnice in the Czech First League on Wednesday evening. The home side are sitting pretty in fourth place, while the visitors are down in 14th. On paper, this should be an easy home win, but can Karvina cause an upset in Jablonec nad Nisou in midweek?

Jablonec Preview – Comfortable win for the hosts?
With two regular season matches left in the Czech First League, Petr Rada’s Jablonec are gearing up for the Championship Group. Overall, the club have won 13, drawn seven and lost eight of 28 league games.
Jablonec have had a mixed bag of results at the Stadion Strelnice this season, picking up a respectable 26 points from a possible 42 home points. They have lost three of their past five on their own patch, falling to a 1-0 defeat to Slovan Liberec in their previous home match.
Since returning to action from the enforced break, Jablonec have taken six points from an available 12, winning two and losing two. After back-to-back defeats to Slavia Prague (5-0) and Liberec (1-0), Rada’s team hit back with a 2-1 win at Teplice last time out, with Milos Kratochvil scoring the winner at the death. Can they follow that up with another three points in midweek?
Karvina Preview – Tough away test for the visitors?
Karvina will battle it out in the end-of-season Relegation Group after a poor campaign in the Czech First League. Juraj Jarabek’s men have picked up just five league wins, losing 13 and drawing ten of the other 23. Before worrying about the Relegation Group, Karvina end the regular season with games against Jablonec and Mlada Boleslav.
Karvina have yet to win since returning to action, losing two and drawing two of four. After defeats to Sparta Prague (4-1) and Synot (2-0), they stopped the rot with a hard-fought 0-0 draw with Budejovice at the Mestsky Stadion last weekend.

Karvina have been pretty dreadful away from home this term, losing eight of 12. Only Bohemians, Zlin, Opava and Pribram have accumulated fewer away points. Since winning 2-0 at Pribram in September, Karvina have taken just two points from eight away matches.
Jablonec vs Karvina Betting Advice
Jablonec will be buoyed from Sunday’s win at Teplice, especially as their winner came so late. The club will be looking for six points from their last two games before battling in the Championship Group, and they should have no problems in this one.
Key Facts – Jablonec vs Karvina Betting Tip
- Jablonec have lost three of their previous five home matches
- Karvina have picked up just two away points since September
- Jablonec won the reverse fixture 1-0
It was a tight fixture when the pair met in the reverse game back in November, with Martin Dolezal’s strike proving to be enough to give Jablonec a narrow 1-0 victory at the Mestsky Stadion. I’m backing Rada’s side to keep another clean sheet on their way to three points on Wednesday. Put some money on the home side to win to nil at the decent odds of 13/8.
