It's trouble wherever Opava are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. Opava are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Stadion v Městských sadech, having lost their two previous games here.

The Opava crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Banik Ostrava here at Stadion v Městských sadech in a Fortuna Liga match. Heartbreak before that as Opava lost 1-3 at Slovacko's place.

Heartbreak for Opava in their last match as Banik Ostrava's J. Svozil scored the winning goal deep into overtime. Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Jan Žídek for missing a penalty kick versus Banik Ostrava in the 15th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.

Opava are traveling soon after this match as the Fortuna Liga match at Slovan Liberec awaits in four days.

Opava have scored 4 league goals here from 5 matches, not a lot. Opava are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (11 from 5 played).
