The Slavia Praha aims to maintain its leading position in the first part of the Chance League season, but it is imperative to rely on Liberec’s victory to achieve this. Liberec’s performance in the first games was disappointing, with only three out of eight points, placing them at the centre of the standings. Nevertheless, their last two games showed a notable improvement, with a win over Ostrava after taking the advantage on Pilsen’s field. The Slavia Praha, despite a recent disappointment in the Champions League, posted an encouraging form in the championship, with three consecutive wins on the same 3-1 score, even though these matches were not always easy.

Slavia Praha coaches Henry Trpíšovský and Jan Mikula stress the importance of focusing on the next game against Liberec, which they consider a major challenge. They recognize the quality of the Liberec team, whose position in the rankings does not reflect its level of play, and believe that this match will be at a level comparable to that played in the Champions League. They insist on the need to show intensity and aggressiveness of the game, while maintaining the control of the ball, as demonstrated in their previous home victory against Pilsen.

The two coaches also expressed the need to find an additional scorer in their squads, as no player has yet scored more than two goals in the championship. However, they were satisfied with the strength of their staff, particularly the duo Vasil Kuše-Lukáš Provovod, as well as Michal Hlavát’s contribution. However, several players are uncertain due to injuries, while Liberec will face the absence of several key players. The likely compositions of the two teams are indicated to give an overview of the roster expected for the game.
