National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Třinec or Baník Ostrava that keep their silverware dream alive.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Třinec and Baník Ostrava.
Třinec form and stats
Třinec have not come this way in the Czech Cup without some hard work on the way, more precisely defeating Slavicin. Last season their Czech Cup adventure ended in the 3rd round.Třinec have less points than they have played home games in the 2. Liga FNL so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 0 points. Problems are piling up for Třinec as they are struggling in their away games as well, taking their total losing streak to a running total of eight games. This streak could be one for the history books. The home stadium (Stadion Rudolfa Labaje) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Třinec it's been a house of straw as the last five games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around?
The Třinec crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-5 to Vysocina Jihlava here at Stadion Rudolfa Labaje in a 2. Liga FNL match. A 2. Liga FNL defeat was the result before that one, 1-3 away at Dukla Praha.
Třinec were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
There will be little rest for Třinec after this match as they are travelling to Viktoria Zizkov for a 2. Liga FNL game in only three days.
At Stadion Rudolfa Labaje, Třinec has the goal stats of 2-8 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
Baník Ostrava form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Beskyd Frenstat in order to reach 3rd Round of Czech Cup. They also participated in Czech Cup last season. This ended in the quarter-finals.The Czech Liga season is young and Baník Ostrava have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Ostrava have lost on their last two travels.
Two away games in a row for Baník Ostrava, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-2 versus Teplice in the Czech Liga. Before that, Baník Ostrava secured a home win against Pardubice with the score 3-0.
A quick return to home after this game, as Ostrava are hosting Slavia Praha in the Czech Liga only four days away.
Goals are few and far between in Baník Ostrava's away league games. Only 1 goal from 3 travels. As opposed to that, Baník Ostrava have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.
