Fresh from defeating Viktoria Plzen in the Czech Cup final, Sparta Prague face the same opponents on the final day of the Fortuna Liga season.

In this preview, Forebet discusses all the key stats, trends and analysis. Read on to find out what our predictive analytics model forecasts for Sunday’s showdown.
On Monday, Sparta Prague lifted the Czech Cup trophy following a dramatic 2-1 victory over Viktoria Plzen, with all three goals coming after the 79-minute mark.
After Sampson Dweh’s own goal, Tomas Chory equalised for Plzen, but Veljko Birmancevic scored the winner in the 91st minute to hand Sparta the title.
In the league, Sparta Prague have lost just two of their 34 matches this season, scoring a whopping 81 goals in the process (2.4 goals per game).
It is also worth noting that Sparta have avoided defeat at the Letna Stadium this term, winning 14 and drawing three of their 17 home league games.
Viktoria Plzen will need to pick themselves up after losing the Czech Cup final, having come agonizingly close to securing the silverware on Monday.
In fact, Plzen head into the final day of the season on a three-game winless run, with one draw and two defeats coming since their last victory.
That said, Viktoria have lost only two of their previous 20 league matches, picking up 13 wins and five draws to earn Europa Conference League football for next season.
Having suffered a solitary defeat in their last 11 away league outings, Viktoria Plzen will be hopeful of gaining revenge this weekend.
Head-to-head: There has been very little to separate Sparta Prague and Viktoria Plzen in recent years, with both sides winning six of their previous 13 meetings.
However, Plzen have managed to win just one of their last five away league games against Sparta, with the hosts securing three victories in that time.
Team news: Sparta Prague will finish the season without the injured duo of Kaan Kairinen and David Pavelka, with the latter last featuring back in January.
On the flip side, Viktoria Plzen’s lengthy injury list contains Viktor Baier, Rafiu Durosinmi, Vaclav Jemelka, Jan Kopic, Idjessi Metsoko, Jan Paluska, Jan Sykora and Matej Valenta.
Having defeated Viktoria Plzen in the Czech Cup final, Sparta Prague hold all the momentum ahead of Sunday’s showdown.
Forebet predicts that Sparta Prague will score over 1.5 goals and keep a clean sheet on their way to securing back-to-back victories over Plzen.
