Struggling Baník Sokolov will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Pardubice in the upcoming league round. It’s 15th vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Baník Sokolov form and stats
Baník Sokolov's struggle is real here at Stadion FK Baník Sokolov with only 9 points collected from 9 2. Liga FNL games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-3-4.
Baník Sokolov manager B. Pilný and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Vlašim (placed 13th) in the 2. Liga FNL. Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Slavoj Vysehrad.
There will be little rest for Sokolov after this match as they are travelling to Prostejov for a 2. Liga FNL game in only three days.
The Sokolov fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 9 matches. 13 goals have been conceded.
Pardubice form and stats
The visitors, who have the most clean sheets (11) in 2. Liga FNL, are W5-D2-L2 on the road this term. That's in the 2. Liga FNL. It could be a hat trick of victories away for Pardubice, as they have won on their previous two travels.
316 minutes! That's how long the Pardubice goalkeeper Marek Bohac and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
Pardubice go into this game after a win, the home game against Ústí nad Labem that ended 5-0. That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Prostejov.
As you can tell from the results above, Pardubice was very dominant against Ústí nad Labem, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 5-0 (!) with T. Solil, L. Pfeifer and M. Hlavatý (3) providing the goals. M. Hlavatý certainly enjoyed Pardubice's last game versus Ústí nad Labem, appearing multiple times in the match report with three goals and the 5-0 victory.
A new game in only four days for Pardubice, the 2. Liga FNL home match versus Vitkovice. Busy days.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Pardubice have scored 12 goals in 9 league games away. It's not easy to score on Pardubice as they have only conceded 7 goals from these away games.
Head 2 Head
This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Pardubice - Sokolov 4-0. As for the last seven games between these two teams, there's one Sokolov victory, three draws and three Pardubice wins. Over/under statistics; two of these games ended with three goals or more, five matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
