In the history of the Czech league we have won 21 of the 24 home matches with Jablonec. The last draw is from March 2013. However, Sparta does not expect anything easy this time. Jablonec lost the last game in the league on September 16 to Mladá Boleslav. The fourth time of the league has won six times since then and has only one draw.
"We are not expecting anything easy. It will be a difficult game and we have to go on with our home performances," said Martin Frýdek before the match.
Sparta interrupted a series of outdoor losses in the last round by winning in Karvina 3:1. "We would like to build on the victory in Karvina but we want to play better," adds head coach Zdeněk Ščasný. The match in Jablonec in the second round of this season was the premiere of Zdeněk Ščasný after returning to the bench. Sparta won by the goals of Kanga and Vukadinović 2:1.
On Sunday Spartans will play in the black retro jerseys to celebrate their 125th birthday. Jerseys will be auctioned after the game. Players will also get one jersey to commemorate. "I'm looking forward to the jerseys and I'm glad we can have one. I hope the jersey will be victorious," Martin Frýdek wishes." Of course, it's an honor for me. I've seen the jersey in the pictures, so it’s a little bit familiar for me, "said Benjamin Tetteh.
The young forward has been in trouble with his back in recent weeks. So the international break was good for him because he had a one weak therapy. "I feel better now and I am looking forward to the next game.” said the best Spartan scorer of the season.
Fans can buy the special edition of magazine Sparta do toho!, retro jerseys or a limited edition of 1893 special cups. The stadium will be open at 15:30. You better come in time.
