Skalica form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Skalica's two home games in the Fortuna Liga so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Mestský štadión.

Skalica faced defeat in their previous match, away at Slovan Bratislava (0-3).

Before that, Skalica had a home game versus Trencin which ended with a victory 2-0.

Podbrezová form and stats

Things could have gone better for Podbrezová in their Fortuna Liga away matches, but 2 points from 2 games is all right. Podbrezová have had a generous will to share for some time now, running a streak of three draws in a row.

Podbrezová's last game was the home draw against DAC (0-0).

A 1-1 draw at Spartak Trnava's stadium before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Podbrezová playing away and similar expectations, we found 4 relevant matches. Results were 2 Podbrezová wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat.

Podbrezová have the goal stats of 3-3 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
