Hradec Králové will continue to play home matches due to the unsatisfactory stadium in Mladá Boleslav. The next East Bohemian complex Pardubice will spend the autumn part in the “asylum” in Prague’s Ďolíčko, where the Bohemians are based in 1905, and in the spring they should move to their new stadium.
The draw again took place according to the so-called Fronček tables. They can take into account that the home matches are not competed by the team from individual regions, but also by unsuitable climatic conditions.
