Match Preview – Sparta vs. Teplice

"We have increased the point loss after the match with Slovásko. I looked at the table and it's not a nice view. We have to do everything to make it better. There are just two matches before the winter and we will try to handle it," said midfielder Lukáš Vácha, which could be in starting eleven because Martin Frýdek and Guélor Kanga are booked.

Teplice changed a coach during the season, Stanislav Hejkal replaced Daniel Šmejkal. Teplice hold the 9^th place in the table (5 wins, 4 draws, 8 losses) after 17 rounds. Teplice scored 18 goals and conceded 24 goals during this season. They won to Liberec 1:0 in the last round.

David Vaněček scored seven goals this season and is the best striker of Teplice. However, he can’t play against us because of four yellow cards. The second best scorer of the team is Jakub Hora with four goals. The defenders Jan Krob and Alex Král are the top assistants in Teplice squad with three assists. The goalkeeping question is not clear. Jakub Diviš played in thirteen matches of this season, but former Sparta goalkeeper Tomáš Grigar was in the squad last game and saved a clean sheet.
