My first thought about this game was to take the both teams scoring but I always tend to complicate my bets as fact is the hosts should be happy with a draw in this one after they managed to win last game with 2-1 away from home at Trinec while at home they lost 3-1 with Chrudim two rounds ago, this while Hradec is fighting for promotion this season and won last round 5-0 at home against Zizkov, before that they had 3 draws in a row drawing 2-2 at Chrudim and 1-1 at Jihlava on the road.

In any case, I expect another one tough match for both sides. I believe, the hosts have better team than their opponent. Hosts have a great chance to break the poor series. On the other hand Rizespor is one of the main outsiders in this league. Rizespor is team of the relegation zone. They have a very difficult task in this season.
