Match Preview – Sparta vs Olomouc

In the beginning of the season Sigma performed well in the competition with Sevilla in the qualification of the Europa League (0-1, 0-3). But in the same time Sigma lost seven of the first eight rounds in Czech league. Olomouc ended the 2018 year on the 14^th position.

But spring caught Sigma in a very different light. The first match of the spring against Jablonec little bit unlucky lost but then Sigma has won four times in a row. Sigma moved to the 9^th place in the league. The team was strengthened only by experienced defender Vít Beneš during the winter.

Sparta has won four of the six last matches with Olomouc, but we lost the last game.
