The 2. Liga league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. These two teams are placed 7th and 11th respectively.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Skalica and Podbrezová.

Podbrezová form and stats

The visitors' first away game ended a defeat. Last season Podbrezová had these away match statistics: Played 16; won 2, drew 4 and lost 10. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Podbrezová are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Podbrezová, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-3 versus Skalica. A 0-3 loss hosting Poprad before that.

Podbrezová are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 0 wins, 0 draws and 9 defeats. From a total of nine matches.

1 goal so far away for Podbrezová, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 1 match.

Head 2 Head

The two sides played each other earlier this season: Skalica - Podbrezová 3-1. H2H stats regardless of arena (last five matches): Skalica 3 wins, 1 draw and Podbrezová 1 victory. As for goals, 3 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 2 games had two or less.
