Slavia Prague vs Sparta Prague Prediction & Betting Tips - Fortuna Liga
by Devesh Jaganath in Football Predictions
The oldest and arguably greatest football rivalry in the Czech Republic is set to play out this weekend when Slavia Prague take on Sparta Prague at Fortuna Arena on Sunday evening. Cervenobili currently lead the Czech Liga table, while Zelezna Sparta are hot on their heels in second place. Check out our match prediction below!
This city derby needs no introduction. It is already charged with intensity, but to make it that little more exciting, it serves as a crucial match at the top of the Czech First League and one that could prove to be a must-win title decider even at this early stage of the season.
In the last two matches between these fierce rivals last season, they proved inseparable, with both fixtures ending goalless. Sparta went on to lift the title by the slenderest of margins, just two points clear, denying Slavia the crown for a second heartbreaking season in a row. Who will come out on top in this one? Let’s get into the stats and try to find out.

Slavia Prague - Sparta Prague: Form Analysis
Following consecutive seasons of disappointment, Slavia Prague look like a side on a mission this term. They are already atop the standings with 25 points after nine games, three clear of their cross-town rivals.
Ahead of their Europa League clash with Ajax in midweek, the Red and Whites secured a commanding 4-0 win over Bohemians last weekend. That result kept their unbeaten record this season intact with eight wins and a draw.
Key to the hosts' success this term has been their incredible defence, which has only conceded a single goal to date while maintaining clean sheets in eight of their nine games.
Slavia Prague are the only side in the Czech First League that are still unbeaten after nine games!
Meanwhile, ahead of their Champions League fixture in midweek, Sparta suffered their first loss of the season, losing shockingly to Sigma Olomouc 3-2 at home last weekend.
That result marked the first league defeat that Iron Sparta have conceded since March 10 when they went down to Viktoria Plzen. It was also their first home loss since being beaten by Liverpool in the Europa League last season.
While the visitors have matched Slavia’s 20-goal tally so far this season, they have conceded nine themselves, which is the most of any of the top four sides in the division.

Slavia Prague & Sparta Prague Squad Analysis
While Slavia Prague have fared well so far this season, they are dealing with a fairly lengthy injury list featuring as many as seven players. This includes three long-term absentees in Tomas Vlcek (knee), Jindrich Stanek (shoulder) and Igoh Ogbu (head).
Also on the sidelines this weekend will be Daniel Fila (head), Lukas Masopust (muscle) and Ivan Schranz (knee), while Lukas Vorlicky is flagged as a major doubt owing to a knee injury.
El Hadji Malick Diouf has scored five goals for Slavia this season and is the joint second-highest scorer in the league this term!
Sparta, on the other hand, were dealt an injury blow in the lead-up to this match with centre-back Elias Cobbaut coming down with an illness which has thrown his participation this weekend in doubt.
Should Cobbaut fail to recover by kickoff, he will join the likes of Asgar Sorensen (knock), Matej Rynes (knock), Imanol Garcia de Albeniz (knee) and Mathias Ross (concussion) on the sidelines.

Our Slavia Prague vs Sparta Prague Prediction
Matches between these two tend to be titanic battles with both sides unwilling to give an inch as we saw in the last two encounters which ended goalless during the backend of last season.
Slavia, in particular, have been water-tight this season, especially at home where they have yet to be breached in 2024-25. The hosts will likely look to prioritise the clean sheet in this one as well and we feel that the first goal here could easily end up being the winner. Our Slavia Prague vs Sparta Prague prediction: Under 2.5!
Slavia Prague vs Sparta Prague - Other Interesting Predictions
