Púchov form and stats

There's been little loot from Púchov's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 11 away games in the 2. Liga. Púchov only have 2 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 2 draws. Recent form does not give Púchov much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. FK Košice will be a tough nut to crack.

There might be some fixture complaints from Púchov as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous game, 0-4 against Podbrezova. Púchov lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.

Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Skalica.

The visiting Púchov have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 15 goals from 11 games.
