Slovan Liberec form and stats

2-2-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Fortuna Liga numbers at home for Slovan Liberec so far this season.

Before that, Liberec drew at home versus Crvena Zvezda.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Slovan Liberec, as the Fortuna Liga home game vs Mlada Boleslav is only three days away.

The Liberec manager P. Hoftych has got the team scoring with 10 from 5 home games in the league. 6 goals have been conceded.

Opava form and stats

0 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses. That’s the product of Opava playing as the away team in the Fortuna Liga this season. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Opava's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Opava played 2-2 against Mlada Boleslav in their previous match. A loss against Banik Ostrava was the result prior to that, in a home game.

As mentioned above, the bookmakers do not believe the away team will get anything from this match. Checking Opava's match history for similar games we find one match. The home team won one of these as expected, zero of them by at least two goals. Opava managed zero draws and zero surprise wins.

A quick return to home after this game, as Opava are hosting Sparta Praha in the Fortuna Liga only three days away.

The attacking power of Opava when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 5 league matches away. The Opava manager R. Kováč has some worries about the defense as 12 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last five meetings): Liberec won one game, three matches ended with a draw and Opava has one win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: three / two
