Default Re: Czech Gambrinus Liga and Second league 10-11/5

A similar situation to English Premiership in the top flight, Sparta one point ahead of Slavia so both teams really have to win and yet both available at fancy prices. The reason? Ostrava fighting for a UEFA Cup spot and Slavia in wobbly form of late, especially before returning to winning way @ Brno four days ago. Have to say I quite like the 2.35 on offer for Slavia @ Mlada Boleslav - a team with nothing to play for. There is also a fix rumour around this one, fed also (indirectly) by Czech TV who are televising the Sparta game, but reportedly refused to televise the Slavia match due to insufficient amount of technology (cough, cough). Make of it what you like, even without the rumour I'd say Slavia are backable @ such prices. With Sparta, especially after losing their skipper Repka due to really stupid red card in the last match (which all but gifted the chance to chase them to Slavia) anything can happen and I would not back them at these prices (and the odds are sure to collapse nearer to KO as the whole country, including toddler and immobile pensioners will hurry to bookies to back Sparta)
