| AC Sparta Praha 4-1 Slezský FC Opava | 2026-07-04 | Club Friendly Games | 4-1 |
Sparta’s last five: L, L, L, W, W. The competitive note is ugly: 3-1 away at Brno on opening weekend. Friendly losses to Nordsjælland and Jagiellonia add noise, but the home friendly wins over Gamba Osaka and Opava still show the attacking floor at epet ARENA. Round 2 becomes a reputation check more than a form parade. Sparta should control territory at home even after a poor start.
Zlin Recent Form
| Match | Date | Competition | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| FC Zlín 0-1 Baník Ostrava | 2026-07-25 | Czech First League | 0-1 |
| Śląsk Wrocław 3-1 FC Zlín | 2026-07-18 | Club Friendly Games | 3-1 |

| FC Zlín 1-2 Hapoel Tel Aviv | 2026-07-08 | Club Friendly Games | 1-2 |
Zlin’s last five: L, L, W, W, L. The league opener was a 0-1 home loss to Banik Ostrava. That is a low-event defeat rather than a collapse, but it still leaves them without a point. Friendly results are mixed and do not rewrite the away task at Sparta. Their best route is a deep block and set pieces. Open territory against Kuchta and Haraslin is a problem.
