Karviná form and stats

Karviná's struggle is real here at Městský Stadión with only 6 points collected from 6 Fortuna Liga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-3-2.

It's back home for Karviná, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Pribram away with the result 1-0. Lukas Bartosak found the net in that victory. Before that, Karviná drew at home versus Jablonec.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Karviná have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won two times, drawn four and lost one.

Karviná are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 6 goals in 6 games. Karviná have conceded 10 from these games.

Pardubice form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Pardubice, who have the fewest scored goals (3) away in Fortuna Liga, so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-4 (win-draw-lose).

Pardubice are looking to quickly end their 216 minutes long goal drought in the Fortuna Liga.

Pardubice's last game was the home draw against Zlín (0-0). Prior to that match, the Pardubice manager J. Novotný faced defeat when travelling to Sparta Praha and losing 0-2.

Pardubice are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, two draws and two defeats. From a total of five matches.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Pardubice's away games in the league this season with only 3 goals from 6 matches. Pardubice's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 11 goals from these trips.
