Pustá Polom vs Břidličná - 4. liga - Divizie F

The 4. liga - Divizie F returns to the home ground on September 6, 2026, where Pustá Polom and Břidličná will lock horns in a contest that could shape their respective campaigns. Enzo Maresca and Rico Lewis held a pre-match press conference on Saturday as Manchester City prepare to face Atletico Madrid in their third pre-season friendly of the summer.

There is little to choose between Pustá Polom and Břidličná on paper, and the 4. liga - Divizie F encounter should reflect that balance. Pustá Polom have blown hot and cold, LWLDL across their last five and a win rate of 33.33% that leaves room for improvement. Břidličná are in the midst of a slump, L over their last five and a paltry win rate of 16.67% summing up their struggles. Goals could be in short supply or plentiful — Pustá Polom average 1.33 per game to Břidličná's 1.17, and that gap may dictate the rhythm of the contest. The on-loan Southampton striker had scored on his debut for Auxerre in defeat last weekend but followed it up with the winning goal against Nice to earn his old boss Will Still his first points in the job.

Wing play is likely to be central to the contest. Pustá Polom will look to stretch the pitch and isolate their wide attackers, while Břidličná must find a way to compress the space and choke the supply lines. Everton are aware of interest from Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal, but there has been no formal approach or contact with them, and they have no appetite to sell the 26-year-old, who has three years on his deal.

Star players on both sides will be eager to make their mark, and the individual duels across the pitch could go a long way to deciding the outcome. Set-piece specialists and aerial threats on both sides mean dead-ball situations could carry outsized importance. Watch Manchester United score their opening goal of the new Champions League campaign.

The market has yet to form a strong view, and the contest looks genuinely difficult to call. With the sides so closely matched, a 1-1 stalemate looks the most likely way this one ends. The result at the home ground could resonate well beyond matchday in the 4. liga - Divizie F picture. Joe Gomez is expected to miss the start of Liverpool's Premier League campaign through injury - but it is not likely to impact the Reds' transfer plans.
