Sigma Olomouc welcome Sparta Prague to Andruv stadion for the final day of the Czech Fortuna Liga regular season on Sunday (April 28th).
The hosts are coming off a shock 2-2 draw at Slavia Prague last weekend. All four goals came in the second half, with Jakub Pokorny and Pavel Zifcak scoring to give Olomouc a two-goal lead by the 66th minute. However, Jan Boril and Mojmir Chytil scored to draw the game level.
Sparta, meanwhile, saw off a late rally by Ostrava to claim a 4-3 home win. Veljko Birmancevic gave them the lead in the 41st minute. They were 3-0 up seven minutes into the second half, courtesy of Jan Kuchta's brace while Lukas Haraslin put them 4-1 up shortly after coming off the bench.
Jiri Kilma and Filip Kubala scored in the 79th and 85th minute to threaten a comeback that never materialised. The win saw the Maroons open up a four-point advantage at the summit, having garnered 73 points from 29 games. Sigma, meanwhile, are eighth with 37 points.
