Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Komárno in 9th and Púchov in 8th place.

Insights:
  • Komárno have the fewest scored goals in the first half (4) in 2. Liga
  • Púchov have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the 2. Liga. Thankfully the previous game, versus Podbrezová, was also a home game here at Mestský štadión. The away team is better rested.
