With the nervous opening game out of the way it’s time for the second 3. Liga - Center game of the season. Kovacova look forward to welcoming Jednota Banova in front of their home support.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
