Both Vítkovice and Třinec are in the elite four, but their current form in the table does not correspond very well. The Ostrava club, which already has a fifteen-point deficit from the second place to the leader Pardubice, has lost three of its last four games at home. And Třinec is playing to end a streak of five games without a point gain.
On the other hand, in the table of ten, Karlovy Vary are in a relatively good mood – they have won four of the last five games. The fresh reinforcement of the third team from Prague is the experienced Swedish defender Stefan Warg, who has agreed with the management of Sparta to stay until the end of the season.
