Karviná form and stats

Karviná's results here at Městský Stadión in the Fortuna Liga have been very modest with 0 victories, 4 draws and 5 defeats. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 18 attempts.

Karviná lost their last game at Zlin (placed 11th) after a 1-2 scoreline. Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Qose for missing a penalty kick versus Zlin in the 45th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.

Before that game, the home loss against Sparta Praha with the scoreline 1-2.

Karviná are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 12 goals in 9 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 17 goals have been conceded. When Karviná hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Pardubice, Teplice, Zlin, Bohemians 1905 and Jablonec), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 4 of 4 times.
