Skalica form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Skalica's two home games in the 2. Liga so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Mestský štadión.
Skalica are confident in defense, having played 245 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
Happy days for Skalica in their previous game, a 2. Liga match away at Samorin (placed 10th) that ended with a 1-0 victory.
In the game before, an away victory in the Slovakia Cup match versus Malacky with a 3-0 scoreline.Skalica has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 0 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Púchov form and stats
The 2. Liga season is young and Púchov have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 2 draws and 1 defeat so far. Recent form does not give Púchov much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Skalica will be a tough nut to crack.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a 2. Liga home defeat versus Banska Bystrica with 0-2 on the scoreboard.
Preceding that game was the away Slovakia Cup victory against Banik Prievidza with the score of 3-1.Púchov are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 5 times in 3 away games so far. The Púchov manager L. Kaplan has some worries about the defense as 6 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
