The round will open the match in Litvínov and the home team will want to follow up on the last two successful matches. But they will not have an easy task against Karlovy Vary. West Bohemians can do it outside, let the last wins in Budějovice and Vítkovice be proof of that.
Skaters from Mladá Boleslav will try to confirm the great form at the home stadium. The lottery of the 18th round was awarded to the White Tigers, to which they can approach three points if successful. It starts at 4 p.m.
Mountfield HK hosts Olomouc and the statistics speak for themselves. In the last four matches (including preparation), the guests have won. According to the current form, however, there is a great chance to break this series today. Hradec Králové go to the match in the role of the favorite from 4 pm.
Vítkovice hosts Kometa Brno and in recent seasons the North Moravians are not used to watching their rival below them. In the last home match in the Ostravar Arena, they defeated Sparta. Will they be able to break another traditional star-studded club? The opening bulls will be thrown in at 4 p.m.
We will see the fights of teams from opposite poles of the table in České Budějovice, where the leader from Pilsen will come. So far, the people of Budějovice are without a win and are collecting a tough rookie tax. It doesn’t seem very realistic to take it just against the start of Pilsen. It is played in southern Bohemia from 5 pm.
The troubled Pardubice had unpleasant moments outside of hockey. That’s when Robert Kousal was eliminated from the squad. If the cocaine affair helps the team finally start pulling together, we will see today when a strong Sparta arrives on the ice of the Enteria Arena. It starts at 17:00.
The last champion from Třinec (2018/19 season) is still walking like a watch. Although he has only played six matches, he has not lost yet and is looking at his current juice with a respectable lead. The people of Zlín are going to the Polish border to try to surprise. In the Werk Arena, the bulls are dropped at 5 p.m.
