Podbrezová form and stats

When playing at home, Podbrezová have managed 4 wins, 1 draw and suffered 6 defeats from 11 games. With eight home games in a row without a win, the Podbrezová fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Trenčín game long ago, can be stopped today.

The fans are hoping that Podbrezová will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Fortuna Liga game against Zlaté Moravce. Preceding that game was the away draw at Senica that finished 0-0.

The Podbrezová fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 13 in 11 matches. Podbrezová's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 15 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
