Czech Chance Národní Liga resumes with key matchups

The Czech Chance Národní Liga resumes following an international break with several key matchups. Slezský FC Opava prepares for its home debut under new coach Ondřej Smetana against fourth-placed FC Jihlava. Smetana faces defensive challenges as Janoščín is serving a suspension, Jaroslav Srubka is injured, and Aidara is unavailable due to visa issues. Opava's top scorer, Peter Juritka, remains a central figure for the team.

In another fixture, FC Zlín travels to face FK Pardubice in an attempt to secure their first victory of the season. While Zlín has shown defensive improvements under coach Hoftych, they will be without center-back Jakub Černín due to a red card. Pardubice, currently in thirteenth place, seeks to bounce back from a recent loss to Sparta Prague.
