Pardubice form and stats
Seven points from three Fortuna Liga home games is a great start for Pardubice, who are hoping to build on that form here at Stadion Dolícek. In general it's been a long time since Pardubice tasted defeat here at Stadion Dolícek, as they have taken at least one point from their last ten home games in the league.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Pardubice, as their goalkeeper Marek Bohac has completely shut out the opponents for 180 minutes in the Fortuna Liga.
Pardubice enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Slovacko's place. The match ended 1-0 with Michal Surzyn scoring. Before that game, the 3-0 home victory against Slovan Liberec.
Some amazing scenes last match, when Michal Surzyn scored the winning goal four minutes into stoppage time.
