  • Slovan Liberec have the fewest scored goals in the second half (8) in Fortuna Liga

Only a few days to rest for the hosts, as they performed in a Fortuna Liga match only three days earlier. That game was an away game at Bohemians 1905, so at least Zlín are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
