The last three away matches (in Plzeň, Olomouc and Zlín) Sparta lost 0:1. "It's time to break it and I think we have a great opportunity," said midfielder Michal Sáček, before the match. Guelor Kang and Alexandru Chipciu can´t play because of yellow cards. So the starting eleven is closer for Michal Sáček.
Tomáš Wiesner is also looking forward to duel in Karviná. Due to the many health problems this season Tomáš played just at the end of the match with Mladá Boleslav this season. "I am looking forward to Karviná a lot. I hope coach will give me a chance. I was injured, but I'm ready to play now, so we'll see," told the Spartan offspring.
Karviná plays the third season in the league. Sparta has not won in Karviná yet. In the last two seasons the result was 1: 1. "Every time we go away, especially to the Moravia, it's a hard game. We do not expect easy match, but we did not get three points twice, so it is necessary to win," Michal Sáček remembers a 0:1 in Zlín and a 2:2 with Slavia. Karviná is on the 15th place after 14 matches. The Roman Nádvorník´s team has eleven points with 3 wins, 2 draws, 9 defeats and score 18:27.
In case of a victory, Sparta gets at least for one day closer to the Slavia and Plzeň. "It may happen everything during the season. I believe we will catch them up and win the title," said Tomáš Weisner.
