Jindřichův Hradec saw off Radotín 87:63 in the 1st League on Sunday evening. The hosts opened up a comfortable lead and kept it, finishing with a 24-point margin that reflected their superiority throughout.
By then, the result had settled the question of who would take the win. Jindřichův Hradec remain eighth with seven victories from eighteen games, while Radotín hold sixth place on eight wins. Neither side has drawn a match this season.
The home side's recent form has been mixed. They beat Liberec 86:48 last week, but lost to Dečín and narrowly edged Litoměřice in between. Radotín's streak is more volatile — a win against Polabí followed by defeats to Prague B and Liberec. The away visitors have scored heavily at times, but consistency remains elusive.
And here's the thing — we had backed the hosts at 71 per cent confidence. The prediction held up. Jindřichův Hradec's defensive structure and home advantage proved decisive, and Radotín could not find the adjustments needed to stay in the contest.
The gap between the two sides in the table now stands at two points. Jindřichův Hradec cannot afford another slip if they want to climb, while Radotín have shown they can score in bursts but must tighten up defensively. The season is still young, but this result sets a tone for both clubs.
