Sigma Olomouc B vs Povazska Bystrica tips and predictions

Visitors poised to stutter

It's hard to pick any holes in these prices. You pays your money and you takes your choice but this preview has settled on the home win.

For Sigma Olomouc B to come through this challenge they'll need to build on the positives of their recent displays. The hosts have been running rings around recent opponents; winning all of their last 10 games. It could also be significant that the visitors have lost 5 of their last 9 matches home and away. That might not be suitable preparation for this.

This home squad is making the most of a recent purple patch and they've been causing problems. Sigma Olomouc B scored three or more goals in 5 of their recent 8 matches and their performances in defence have also paid dividends. They have only conceded an average of 0.6 goals over their last 16 games.

Povazska Bystrica have conceded at least once in all of their last 12 matches. It will be interesting to see what tactical changes they implement.

It's quite possible this is a match that will simply depend on which side is the fastest out of the blocks. The sportsbooks' prices indicate that both sides can get in on the act as they can both be dangerous in attack. But with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that seems the better option for this particular encounter. And in the total goals line, it's no more than a single goal standing out in this one given these prices.
