2. Slavia's mainstays are already on holiday
3. An important match for Slavia B in the 2nd league

Full analysis:

A match that is of great value. A fired-up Jablonec, who can play a historic season, is within reach of the 4th place that guarantees participation in the European Cups. They are only 2 points behind Sparta Prague. The team led by Luboš Kozel is in fantastic form at the end of the season and is playing really good football. In the last three matches, they have defeated Sparta, Olomouc and Baník Ostrava from the top 6.

The table leader and already certain league champion Slavia Prague will come to Jablonec. Slavie has created such a big lead at the top of the table that they celebrated winning the title three weeks ago. Its last motivation was last weekend's derby against Sparta. Despite a dull performance, Slavie managed to win the match against their biggest rival 2-1. Immediately afterwards, the club's management released its biggest pillars for a well-deserved vacation. It can be expected that only a few players from the championship squad will take the field. Players from the bench and the B-team should get a chance.

The fact that Slavia B have an important match in the 2nd league on Saturday in the fight to stay in the competition may also play a role. The team needs at least a draw in Varnsdorf to be sure of salvation. So it is likely that the club will focus mainly on this match. It may happen that some players will play two games in 24 hours.

And one more fact may speak into the result in Jablonec, although it is more of a speculation. If Jablonec were to get 3 points against Slavia, they would leapfrog Sparta by a point, which probably wouldn't bother Slavia at all. Seeing the hated rival fall to 5th place in the table after two titles would surely please many Slavia fans. Moreover, Sparta will have a very difficult match on the ground of Baník Ostrava, which is fighting with Plzeň for the second place.

In any case, I believe that the different motivations of the two clubs will play a role in the result. While Jablonec is playing for European cups, for Slavia it will be a meaningless match, where they will send a packed line-up without their biggest supports. I'll take the odds of 2.90 for Jablonec to win. I expect the odds to go down a lot by the start of the match.
