Full analysis:

The play-offs begin, Písek plays Děčín on the local ice hockey hall. There is a lot of interest in the game, the number of spectators will reach 3000.

The most important thing is that South Bohemians can play Děčín this year. They have beaten them in three of their four encounters, losing the fourth - a brilliantly played away game - 106-114 in the final minute due to their own mistakes. Most importantly, key point guard Vojtech Sýkora is back in the lineup, as is wingman Johan Haiblík. Sand has a ten-man supporting rotation.

Experienced Děčín are in good form, having won six of their last eight games, and are a typical playoff team to play against. The game will be refereed by the experienced Robert Vyklicky, who won't let things get out of hand. So free throws for Písek are a given.

For me, the odds should be even here, this match is completely 50/50. If Sand stops point guard Ogundiran, he's halfway there. So I'll try Sand -1.5 handicap for 2/5 at odds of 2.23. Fair around 1.9.
