The season is still fairly new and the Fortuna Liga table has to be read with caution. So far Nitra find themselves in 11th position and Sereď are placed 5th.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Nitra form and stats

Nitra's first home game here at Štadión pod Zoborom ended with defeat. Last season their home statistics were 4 wins, 5 draws and 7 defeats from 16 matches. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Nitra to get some points in this home game.

Nitra lost their last game at Spartak Trnava after a 0-2 scoreline. Ahead of that match, Nitra lost 0-1 at home to Zlate Moravce.

This is expected to be a close game, with Nitra perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Nitra as a small favourite), we find nine games. Nitra has won 1 of these, drawn 5 and lost 3.

Nitra are traveling soon after this match as the Slovakia Cup match at Velky Lapas awaits in four days.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Nitra at home. 0 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.

Sereď form and stats

The visitors' first away game ended a defeat. Last season Sereď had these away match statistics: Played 16; won 4, drew 3 and lost 9.

Sereď won their last game, 3-1 versus DAC played at home. Before that, Sereď secured a home win against Senica with the score 2-1.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Sereď playing away and similar expectations, we found two relevant matches. Results were 0 Sereď wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat.

The schedule is very tough for Sereď now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Slovakia Cup game at Lokomotíva Zvolen is waiting in only four days.

0 goals so far away for Sereď, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 2. All from 1 match.

Head 2 Head

Nitra-Sereď H2H statistics last nine meetings regardless of arena: Nitra 4 wins, Sereď 5 wins, 0 draws. 6 of these nine matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
