Karviná form and stats

2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. That’s the product of Karviná playing as the away team in the Fortuna Liga this season.

Karviná have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 198 minutes ago. K. Qose was the goal scorer.

Home advantage was not enough for Karviná in their previous game, as they lost their Fortuna Liga-match, hosting Zlín, 0-2. Prior to that match, the Karviná manager J. Jarábek faced defeat when travelling to Sigma Olomouc and losing 0-3.

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

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Karviná have scored 5 goals in 4 league games away. 5 goals have been conceded by Karviná in these games.
