With a rather low total of 24 points taken in 23 games played, Teplice is in danger for its maintenance in this first Czech division. Indeed, it ranks 12th in the ranking and is 6 points behind 10th place, synonymous with play-offs for a place in the Europa League. After the winter break, Stanislav Hejkal’s men had only played 3 games before the championship was paused. Unconvincing, they were beaten by Sigma Olomouc (1-3) and Karvina (3-0) and took a point against Slovacko in the last match (0-0).
For its part, Liberec is one of the major clubs in this Czech championship with 3 championship titles postponed since the early 2000s, the last obtained in 2012. However, the Slovan should not be able to participate in the title race this season since he occupies only the 7th rank in the ranking with already 22 points behind the leader but he is still in the process to get his ticket for the championship group which designates the champion because he only has 4 lengths behind the podium with one game less. Very fit before the break, the 6th in the last championship had won his 3 disputed matches against Sparta Prague (0-2), the Bohemians 1905 (3-1) and Opava (4-0).
