The last direct confrontation between these two teams, on 02-28-2020, ended with victory Baník Ostrava by (0‑2). Particular attention is needed for the home / away condition, as both teams present significantly different results at home and away.
Baník Ostrava :
The home team comes to this 2nd round after the draw (0‑0) in the first match for the league, against Karviná. This is a team that curiously has been stronger as a visitor than in their home games, since in the last 30 games they have recorded 4 wins, 7 draws and 4 losses away; against 3 wins, 7 draws and 5 losses in his stadium. In the last 10 home matches for all competitions, Baník Ostrava won 1, drew 4 and lost 5. Their defense has not been very strong, since they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their attack has scored regularly as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches.
Banik made their debut playing away from home and finally managed to score a point. Certainly the result was not bad, but now, playing in their stadium, it is important to win. You may encounter some difficulties, which is normal, but you are able to add all three points. If you manage to control the game and not give your opponent spaces, you will increase your chances of achieving a good result.
České Budějovice:
The away team comes to this 2nd round after a loss in their league debut, against Slavia Praha by (0‑6). This is a stronger team with the support of its fans, since in the last 30 games it has recorded 4 wins, 3 draws and 8 losses as a visitor; against 8 victories and 7 defeats in his stadium. In their last 10 away matches České Budějovice has recorded 2 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses. Their defense has not been very strong, as they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches.
Dinamo CB’s debut in the current Czech championship was not good and to say so is not an exaggeration. Despite having played at home, the team ended up being thrashed 6-0. This made it clear that changes will have to occur if you want a good result in the second game. Of course, playing away from home is more difficult, but you need to make up for lost points. You will therefore have to present a different posture, otherwise you will run the risk of stumbling again.
