The glass has been half empty for Pardubice so far, and the same description fits Zlín. These hardened teams would trade their mothers for some crucial points here.

Insights:
  • Pardubice have the most conceded goals (67) in Fortuna Liga
  • Zlín have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Pardubice form and stats

Pardubice's struggle is real here at Stadion Dolícek with only 14 points collected from 15 Fortuna Liga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-8-5. When Pardubice hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Karviná, Pardubice, Teplice, Bohemians 1905 and Jablonec), they have won 3 of 5 matches! Two home wins in a row for Pardubice bring valid hopes of a third.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Pardubice, as their goalkeeper Jakub Markovic has completely shut out the opponents for 273 minutes in the Fortuna Liga.

A nice win for Pardubice last time playing, versus Karviná. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-0 with Čelůstka and Čihák scoring for the victors.

In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Bohemians 1905.

This is expected to be a close game, with Pardubice perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Pardubice as a small favourite), we find four games. Pardubice has won three of these, drawn one and lost zero.

There will be little rest for Pardubice after this match as they are travelling to Teplice for a Fortuna Liga game in only four days.

Pardubice are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 17 goals in 15 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 27 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Zlín form and stats

Zlín have only collected 10 points from their away games in the Fortuna Liga, after 2-4-9 (15 played). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Zlín have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 13 consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Slovan Liberec game.

Zlín failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Bohemians 1905 that ended with defeat 1-4. Zlín lost heavily in their last match (against Bohemians 1905 as mentioned above) and the damage happened in the first half. Something did not go right in the pre-game preparations.

Prior to that match, a home win 3-0 against Teplice.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found six similar matches played by Zlín in our archives, and the results are: one win for Zlín, four draws and one defeat.

After this away game Zlín return home for a Fortuna Liga game against Jablonec. That game is only four sleeps after this.

The visitors have scored 12 goals from 15 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Zlín's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 29 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

These competitors have battled earlier this season: Zlín - Pardubice 4-1. Head-2-head stats last four meetings: one - two - one (Pardubice wins - draws - Zlín wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two had two or less.
