SLAVIA HUNTS RECORD, BANÍK CAN MAKE HISTORY WITH VICTORY OVER THE BIG THREE

Image
  May 24, 2025 SK Slavia Praha - FC Baník Ostrava   Fortuna Arena, Prague On Saturday, May 24, 2025, SK Slavia Praha will face FC Baník Ostrava in the 35th round of the Chance Liga. The match offers a clash between record-chasing Slavia and Baník, who can defeat all three traditional Czech powerhouses in a single season for the first time in history. SK Slavia Praha lost their last Chance Liga match against Jablonec 2:3 after having a two-goal lead – the first time they lost a two-goal lead since March 2015 when they lost 3:4 against Mladá Boleslav. Slavia (87 points) still have one game to beat the record for the most points gained in a single league season. Despite their recent stumble, the "Sewn-Ones" are still heading toward a historic milestone. FC Baník Ostrava have never beaten Sparta, Slavia, and Plzeň in a single Chance Liga season – this season they have already beaten Sparta and Plzeň twice. Baník defeated both Sparta and Slavia in the same Chance Liga season ...

RECORD-BREAKING BANÍK HOSTS DEFENSIVE POWERHOUSE JABLONEC IN CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND OPENER

Image
  April 27, 2025 FC Baník Ostrava - FK Jablonec Sunday's opening match of the Chance Liga championship round features a clash between record-setting Baník Ostrava and the defensively exceptional FK Jablonec. Both teams enter the championship group with contrasting historical statistics. Baník Ostrava has recorded their most successful regular season in Chance Liga history with 64 points and will be playing in the championship round for the fifth time. However, in their previous four championship rounds, Baník gained a maximum of only four points (in seasons 2021-22 and 2023-24) and achieved their highest finish last season (4th place). Notably, Ostrava has lost all four of their opening championship round matches (either to Sparta or Slavia), a statistic they're eager to overturn. FK Jablonec has played their best regular Chance Liga season since 2020-21, when they accumulated 62 points after 30 matchdays under Petr Rada (51 points now). The Northern Czech side has excelle...

CLASH OF OPPOSITES: BANÍK TARGETS RECORD AS BOHEMIANS CLING TO LAST CHANCE

  April 19, 2025 FC Baník Ostava - Bohemians Praha 1905 The City Stadium in Ostrava-Vítkovice will become the stage for a battle between teams with dramatically different ambitions on Saturday. The home side is experiencing a fantastic period – unbeaten in seven consecutive league matches, while the visitors are fighting for one last hope to avoid the relegation group. Under coach Pavel Hapal's guidance, Baník is enjoying an extraordinary spring season. Six wins and one draw in their last seven duels have catapulted the Silesians into contention for the top positions. A similar series was last recorded by the Ostrava club between August and October 2023. Saturday's clash is particularly significant in the context of club history. If Baník defeats Bohemians, they would set a historic points record after 30 completed league rounds in the Czech top flight. They currently have 61 points; a win would push them to 64, surpassing their previous maximum of 63 points from the 2003/0...
