A key match in Fortuna Liga as both teams are battling for the top positions. With DAC in 2nd position and Žilina placed 3rd, this promises to be an exciting meeting. Read on to find out more!
- DAC have the most points from losing position (14) in Fortuna Liga
- Žilina have the most matches over the total-line (18) in Fortuna Liga
Žilina could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Slovakia Cup game only three sleeps ago. That game, against FK Košice, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Žilina.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Žilina have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 18-9-14 (win-draw-loss) from 41 matches.
DAC form and stats
DAC have performed here at MOL Aréna this season with 7 wins from 11 Fortuna Liga matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 3 games and lost 1.

DAC are returning here after visiting Zlate Moravce in a Fortuna Liga game and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. E. Ramírez scored the goal(s). Previous to that game, a home match hosting Trencin in a game that was won 2-0.

Žilina form and stats

Žilina play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 4-2 victory visiting FK Košice. Preceding that, the 2-3 home loss versus Slovan Bratislava.
As you can tell from the result, the match against FK Košice was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
