Nitra form and stats

Nitra have collected 14 points from their home games so far after 4-2-5. With eight home games in a row without a win, the Nitra fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Senica game long ago, can be stopped today.

A good away victory last time out for Nitra, who won 4-1 against Trenčín. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Podbrezová that ended 2-2.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Nitra have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won 2 times, drawn 1 and lost 1.

Nitra has scored 13 goals at home this season, in 11 matches. On the other hand, Nitra have conceded 15 goals.

Senica form and stats

There's been little loot from Senica's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 11 away games. Senica only has 1 win to counter their 8 defeats and 2 draws. Senica has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.

Senica won their last game, 2-0 versus Spartak Trnava played at home. Before that, Senica secured a home win against Trenčín with the score 4-0.

Senica 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, 1 draw and 0 defeats. From a total of one match.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Senica as they have only managed to score 9 times from 11 away games. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Senica's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 29 goals in 11 travels.

Head 2 Head
