Zbrojovka Brno vs Hradec Kralove: Team strengths vs risks
| Team | Strengths | Risks |
|---|---|---|
| Zbrojovka Brno | Zbrojovka Brno are in brilliant attacking form, averaging 2.5 goals per match this season. They have been dominant at home, remaining unbeaten in their last eight games at Stadion Srbská. The team carries huge momentum with eleven wins in their last twelve matches and shows strong chemistry under Martin Svedík. Their quick passing, pressing style and multiple goal scorers such as Vachousek, Gjorgievski and Rymarenko make them dangerous in attack. | However, their defence has not yet been tested against top-tier opposition. They often leave spaces behind when full-backs push high and may struggle against physically stronger teams. If forced to defend deep, their structure can become vulnerable. |
| Hradec Králové | Hradec Králové have a solid defensive setup, keeping four clean sheets in their last five games. The team benefits from the experience of Vladimir Darida in midfield and looks sharp on counter-attacks through Vlkanova and Sloncik. Their confidence is high after a 4-0 win against Slovácko and they have developed strong team unity under coach David Horejš. | Their main concern is inconsistency away from home, where they sometimes start slowly. The side depends heavily on a few key players for creativity and can be exposed by quick transitions. Defending set pieces remains a weakness, occasionally leading to avoidable goals. |
