7th and 8th round of Extraleague will be played on Saturday. After last weekend surprise, Draci lost both games in Prague with Kotlarka, Draci can expect another hard doubleheader in Brno, when they will play with Express Brno, with the games are played at MBS on Saturday at 2pm. Thanks to two wins last weekend Kotlarka Praha is leading Extraleague now. They will not travel far, only to south part of Prague, where Eagles Praha has their nic baseball facility. The first Prague derby in season 2011 ended with split, so we can expect another tough matchup on Saturday at Krc.
Another Brno’s derby will be played in Blansko, where Cardion Hrosi Brno have their home field for this season. From 1pm they will host Technika Brno, probably already with Deago and Chambers on roster. The last doubleheaders will be played also on Saturday from 1pm in Olomouc, where home team Skokani will host Arrows Ostrava. Although Skokani are higher in Extraleague standing, it is hard to decide who will be favorite of this doubleheader. First derby finished 1-1.
Beside Extraleague also Ceskomoravska Leagues (2nd division) will have scheduled complete round four and five on Sunday. One games of U19 Extraleague is scheduled on Sunday morning in Brno and finally Czech Cup is starting this weekend with 1st round where only teams from regional leagues will play for promotion to 2nd round, where also teams from Extraleague and Ceskomoravska league will start.
