This is a CFL meeting between two sides who are hard to split. CheckLive have not named a favourite, so there is no win-probability signal to lean on; the honest pre-match read is that it could go either way, with the draw a real possibility. Both teams have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five in all competitions.
Baník Souš lost 0-1 to Pardubice B, then beat Turnov 2-0 and Teplice B 5-0, drew 1-1 with Písek, and lost 1-3 to Dukla Praha B. Benátky drew 1-1 with Hradec Kralove B, beat Trutnov 5-2, lost 0-1 to Varnsdorf, lost 0-1 to Aritma Praha, then won 4-1 against Neratovice-Byškovice.
The head-to-head favours the home side: in five meetings, Baník Souš have won three and lost two, with no draws. The most recent meeting was a 5-3 Baník Souš win in the CFL, so goals have flowed between these sides; the key is whether Benátky can tighten up, though the draw cannot be ruled out.
