The Prague derby has gone over this number of corners in the last two games. Slavia always have a lot of corners in their games, as they are a very attacking team, and they are averaging 12.8 corners per game in the last five matches. Sparta have at least 10 corners in three consecutive games, so there’s a good chance they over-hit here.

This matchup has been very tight lately, as the last two derbies ended in a 0-0 draw. The under has hit in four of the last six head-to-head games, and they are both coming off low-scoring matches last week. Slavia have conceded only one goal in the league so far, and they are defending well. A draw will be a good result for them, so they shouldn’t take unnecessary risks as well.
