Chance Liga: Sparta and Plzeň seek recovery in fourth round

The fourth round of the Chance Liga features several teams seeking to recover from poor starts to the season. Sparta Praha faces significant pressure following a loss to Lyon in the Champions League qualifiers and two domestic defeats, leaving them in tenth place. The club is also navigating roster changes, including the departures of Lukáš Haraslín, Jan Kuchta, and Veljko Birmančević.

Viktoria Plzeň, despite declaring a title challenge, has yet to secure a win in the first three rounds, recording only two draws. They face Zlín in an attempt to secure their first victory. Meanwhile, Mladá Boleslav continues a strong run, remaining undefeated in the opening three rounds and recently defeating Sparta 2-0.

Other notable matchups include Teplice, who have shown resilience after a high-scoring draw, and Pardubice, who are still searching for their first points of the season.
