Pick 161: Vitkovice- Mlada Boleslav

Boleslav is riding on a 3 game winning streak and Vitkovice is the perfect team that will end it.
Boleslav have 3 wins in the last three matches and they achieved them against some very tough opposition. They won against Kladno in a shootout, away at Pardubice and at home against Litvinov. The core of the team however is very thin and the key players can't handle the same tempo day in and day out. Even the captain of the team stated that they cant defeat anyone by destroying them and that they have to scrap for every point.
What makes today's trip even tougher is the fact that this is the longest away trip for Boleslav (350km or so) and it comes shortly after another away match at Pardubice. Vitkovice have always had a fortress at home and this year shall be no different. On goal they have the best goalie in the Extraliga Malek and scoring against Vitkovice is very hard (15 goals, best defense in Extraliga). They still might have trouble clicking in attack as they lost Huna and Vrana in the offseason (they accounted for 63 pts. in the regular season, 22 in the playoffs) and Vosatka.
However, for today's match and in today's circumstances i believe all is set up for the team to finally prove that they are a legitimate contender for the top spots.

Pick: Vitkovice @1.7 (Expect)
Stake: 100

Result: WON
