Pardubice are yearning to add to their goals scored at home in this upcoming fixture against Zlín.

Insights:
  • Pardubice is in the worst form (0-1-5)

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Pardubice form and stats

Pardubice's struggle is real here with only 6 points collected from 6 Fortuna Liga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-3-2. It's trouble wherever Pardubice are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.

The Pardubice crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 2-4 to Sparta Praha here in a Fortuna Liga match. A goal frenzy last time out for Pardubice, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Sparta Praha. Fun stuff to watch!

Heartbreak before that as Pardubice lost 1-3 at Ceske Budejovice's place.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Pardubice have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found five matches with the results: Won three, drawn one and lost one.

Pardubice have proved capable of finding the net in their games here with 10 goals in 6 league matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Pardubice defense is not exactly impregnable. 10 goals conceded from 6 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Zlín form and stats

2-0-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Zlín, who have the most conceded goals (28) in Fortuna Liga, in their Fortuna Liga matches away. With the Zlín losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

Home advantage was not enough for Zlín in their previous game, as they lost their Fortuna Liga-match, hosting Hradec Kralove, 2-3.

Preceding that game was the away Czech Cup victory against Vyskov (after extra-time) with the score of 2-1.

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

Zlín have another match away in just three days, a Czech Cup match against Slavia Praha. A demanding itinerary for them!

Zlín are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 6 away goals from 5 games (in the league). The Zlín manager J. Jelinek has some worries about the defense as 12 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Head to head statistics (for the prior two meetings): Pardubice won one game, one match ended in a draw and Zlín managed zero wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: one / one
