Victory to the hosting team is predicted from this game if the league table is to be believed. The Banska Bystrica regulars are optimistic that the gap between 3rd and Námestovo's 16th place in the table will show on the ground.
- Banska Bystrica have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded.
- Námestovo have the fewest scored goals (7) in 2. Liga
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
