FC Pisek VS Pardubice

FC Písek host FK Pardubice at 17:30 on August 26 in the second round of the 2026/27 MOL Cup. It is a meeting between fifth-placed ČFL A side Písek and a Chance Liga representative, with home advantage providing an important balance. Písek have made a positive start to the new season: beating Povltavská 3-0, defeating Spartak Příbram 3-2 in the MOL Cup, drawing 2-2 with Loko Praha and then losing 1-3 to Králův Dvůr. They have four points and six goals after three league rounds. Pardubice, meanwhile, remain without a win after five Chance Liga rounds and have only one point. They lost 1-2 to Hradec, 0-2 to Jablonec and 1-2 to Slavia, drew 1-1 with Mladá Boleslav and most recently lost 1-3 to Sigma Olomouc. However, the difference in level remains clear. Pardubice finished eighth in the 2025/26 Chance Liga regular season, while Písek finished fourth in ČFL A with 52 points. The head-to-head record also favors Pardubice, with three wins, one draw and one defeat. Písek have enough home strength and attacking form to make the match difficult, but Pardubice possess greater experience at a higher competitive level and strong motivation to secure their first win of the season. The matchup points toward a 2-1 Pardubice victory.
