Senica form and stats

With 2 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Senica, who have the fewest points (10) at home in Fortuna Liga, are certainly not brimming with confidence.

A good away victory last time out for Senica, who won 3-2 against Trenčín. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Spartak Trnava (0-1).

This is expected to be a close game, with Senica perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Senica as a small favourite), we find four games. Senica has won 2 of these, drawn 2 and lost 0.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Senica as they have a new game in only three days, a Slovakia Cup match thankfully also at home. Spartak Trnava are visiting.

Senica has scored 11 goals at home this season, in 11 matches. On the other hand, Senica have conceded 14 goals.
