The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Petržalka akadémia are in the 7th position while the guests worry at 16th.
It's no vacation for neither Petržalka akadémia nor Lipany as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Lipany form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Lipany, who have the fewest scored goals (18) in 2. Liga, so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-9 (win-draw-lose). With the Lipany losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Lipany's last three away games as they have all been lost.This game can not go any worse than the last one, a 2. Liga home defeat versus Zilina II with 0-2 on the scoreboard. Prior to that match, the Lipany manager E. Jacko faced defeat when travelling to Partizán Bardejov and losing 1-3.
A quick return to home after this game, as Lipany are hosting Komarno in the 2. Liga only three days away.
