The Dubnica & Poprad managers P. Jakuš and J. Belejčák are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the 2. Liga league table.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Dubnica form and stats
This stadium, Mestský futbalový štadión Dubnica, has been a fortress for Dubnica in the 2. Liga so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 8-0-1. Two home wins in a row for Dubnica bring valid hopes of a third.
Dubnica travelled for their previous game, a trip to Podbrezova that ended 1-1. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Zilina II in a game that was won 1-0.
The Dubnica manager P. Jakuš has got the team scoring with 19 from 9 home games in the league. Dubnica are not conceding a lot of goals here at Mestský futbalový štadión Dubnica in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 7 from 9 matches.
Poprad form and stats
As the visiting team in 2. Liga matches, Poprad have produced an overall stat of 4-1-3 so far. Three has not been a lucky number for Poprad as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Slovan Bratislava II match.
L. Horváth was the last player to score for the away team. Poprad haven't scored a league goal in the last 195 minutes.
Poprad might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Banska Bystrica proved too strong as Poprad slumped to a 0-7 defeat in front of their own fans at Futbalový štadion NTC Poprad. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Skalica wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
Poprad lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-7 beating and focus on this one.
Poprad are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 11 away goals from 8 games (in the league). They concede less than a goal on average per away game (7 so far).
