Pick 160: Sparta Praha- Ocelari Trinec

Sparta enters this match as the worst home team in the league. This is most probably the reason the price was set so high, but the lack of points is due the fact that they only played two matches at home. They also played the NY Rangers as a part of the NHL preseason and lost that match 2-0, being more or less always in contention.
Last years head to head is not very pleasant from Sparta's perspective. They lost both home matches and one in Trinec. However, this shouldn't bother anyone because after the terrible year last year when Sparta didn;t even reach the palyoffs they went through a makeover of the team and released Vyborny and Kratena and instead of them got Jansky and rachunek (two NT players).
For this match they return to their own arena and the fans will finally want to see a convincing performance. They surely are capable of providing that for the fans. They are showing some excellent form lately by beating three very tough teams away from home. A team that defeats Zlin, Budejovice and Pardubice away is surely capable of beating weakened Trinec at home in front of 7000 fans. No players are missing for the team.
Trinec hit form lately too, but today they will have to play without their key players Bonk(4 goals, best scorer so far), Seman and long term injured Varada.

Pick: Sparta 2.25 @bet365
Stake: 100

Result: LOST
