Originally, the duel was to be played at the Doosan Arena in Pilsen on Saturday 20 August, but the West Bohemians took the opportunity to postpone the match. There would be a 72-hour break between the opening match of the Champions League play-off in Baku against Karabakh and the match against Brno, to which the clubs are entitled according to the rules.

Furthermore, Plzeň still had a rematch against Karabakh after the fixed deadline of the 4th round, so it was not even possible to move the match with Brno from Saturday to Sunday. Recently, the match will be played after the 15th round of the highest competition and on the last possible date before the end of the autumn part. It ends on November 13 due to the World Cup in Qatar.
