Benesov form and stats

Benesov have collected 18 points from their 3. Liga CFL home games so far after 5-3-6. Benesov has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager Machac and the players.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 193 minutes without scoring a league goal. Kacafirek was the last player to find the net.

No payout for Benesov in their previous match, an away game at Banik Sous that ended in defeat 0-2.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Chlumec nad Cidlinou (0-4).

This is expected to be a close game, with Benesov perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Benesov as a small favourite), we find 8 games. Benesov has won 3 of these, drawn 2 and lost 3.

Goal fest? Nobody knows what will happen in this one, but we do know that 11 of the 13 most recent league matches with this team has had three goals or more.

The Benesov fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 20 in 14 matches. Benesov have conceded 25 from these games. When Benesov hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Jablonec II, Přepeře, Pardubice II, Ústí nad Labem and Sokol Živanice), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 3 of 4 times.
