Competition: Slovakia Fortuna Liga
Competition: Sat 12.December
Match begins: 13:00 (UTC)
Venue: OMS Arena (5070 seats)

Struggling Senica will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Zlaté Moravce in the upcoming league round. It’s 9th vs 4th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

Insights:
  • Senica has the fewest points (5) at home in Fortuna Liga
  • Zlaté Moravce has the fewest matches under the total-line (4) in Fortuna Liga

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

These teams have little in common geographically as Zlaté Moravce have to travel 1200 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Senica form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Fortuna Liga this season. Senica, who have the fewest points (5) at home in Fortuna Liga, have only managed 1 win, 2 draws and 5 losses from their games here at OMS Arena.

The home team returns to OMS Arena after being equal after 90 minutes with Nitra (placed 7th) on their last time out; the Fortuna Liga game ended 1-1. Preceding that match was the home game against Slovan Bratislava that was lost 0-3.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Senica have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won five, drawn four and lost zero.

The manager A. Šoltís will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to DAC in only three days.

Senica are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 8 goals in 8 games. Senica have conceded 17 goals in these home games, a significant number.

Zlaté Moravce form and stats

There's been little loot from Zlaté Moravce's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 8 away games in the Fortuna Liga. Zlaté Moravce only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 2 draws.

Two travels in a row for Moravce, whose manager Ľ. Benkovský could celebrate last time after the Fortuna Liga win against DAC. Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Zemplin Michalovce.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Zlaté Moravce playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were two Zlaté Moravce wins, two draws and three defeats.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Spartak Trnava in just four days.

Zlaté Moravce have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 8 league away games 10 goals have been scored. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 11 goals have been conceded by Moravce in these games.
