Meeting of leading duo in Extraliga, Slavia are three points behind Budejovice, and in much worst form so far so i'm keen to back home team. There are few reasons why and i'll start with some statistics.

Budejovice are best home team in league with W14-D5-L1 70:36, and while Slavia is fairly good away, their away record can't compare to Budejovice's home record.

Then there's schedule, Budejovice played on 2nd January, 4th January, 6th January and 8th January. Very hard schedule, but they managed to win almost all games. Slavia played on 2nd and 4th January and also on 7th and 8th. This will be their third match in four days which they could feel in their legs. So far they didn't proved good in this closely schedule having lost all four games in new year. Also they've lost four of their last five away and Budejovice aren't team that fits them, especially away.

As an extra motivation for home team, they are celebrating 80 years and there will be special program for spectators, free snacks and beer, in full hall and with that atmosphere i think that Budejovice will play like it's Play-off match. I expect their win, be it narrow or high.
