Baník Ostrava form and stats

Last season, Baník Ostrava's league statistics were 13 wins, 10 draws and 11 losses, resulting in a 8th position in the Fortuna Liga. Over these 34 matches they scored 48 goals and conceded 38. Playing at home last season Baník Ostrava managed 8-6-3 (win-draw-lost) with 28 goals and 15 conceded.

Ostrava are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Jablonec.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Karvina.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Ostrava's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played four games, won two matches, drawn two and lost zero.

In total they scored 30 and conceded 50 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 4 - drew 4 and lost 9 with 13/22 goals scored/conceded.

M. Hlinka was the last player to score for the away team. Zlín haven't scored a league goal in the last 306 minutes.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Fortuna Liga home defeat versus Slavia Praha with 0-1 on the scoreboard.

Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Slovácko's place.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Zlín when being an outsider away as they are today, we find six matches with the visitors losing four times, drawing zero and winning two games.
