Slovacko vs Banik Ostrava is likely to be a tight, low-scoring affair.

The best value is on the draw (34% model vs 30% implied) and under 2.5 goals (58% vs 53.2%), while Banik's confirmed absence of forward Gning supports the under. Avoid the double chance and first-half under 1.5 due to poor value.
