Baník Most-Souš enter the second round of the MOL Cup after beating Turnov 2-0, while Příbram are competing in the Chance Národní Liga, the second tier of Czech football. The level gap gives the visitors the stronger position.
Most-Souš made an impressive start to the 2026/27 ČFL season by beating Teplice B 5-0, but then lost 0-1 to Pardubice B. Their match against Benátky was postponed, leaving them with only two league games played.
Příbram, meanwhile, are unbeaten in their five league matches: draws against Slavia B and Vlašim, wins over Opava and Jihlava, and a 2-2 draw with Prostějov. After five rounds, they sit fifth with nine points.
The head-to-head record also gives Příbram a psychological advantage after their 1-0 away victory over Most-Souš in the 2021 MOL Cup. A 2025 friendly also ended 1-0, but that involved Příbram B and therefore should not be treated as a first-team meeting.
The cup setting means rotation must be considered, but Příbram still have the more stable foundation. Most-Souš have home advantage and enough attacking ability to create pressure, yet experience could ultimately decide the contest.
