The Fortuna Liga league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Sereď and Žilina are placed 5th and 3rd respectively.
Sereď and Žilina should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Sereď's stadium, Štadión FC ViOn Zlaté Moravce, has a grass surface. Žilina have artifical turf on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Žilina when playing on grass; 20 wins, 5 draws and 9 losses from 34 matches. They have scored 57 goals in these games and conceded 32.
Sereď form and stats
The hosts won their first Fortuna Liga game here at Štadión FC ViOn Zlaté Moravce, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Sereď last season were 1 win, 1 draw and 0 losses from 2 games.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Sereď, as their goalkeeper has completely shut out the opponents for 270 minutes in the Fortuna Liga.
A strong away win before that one, visiting Spartak Trnava and winning 2-0.
As indicated by the result mentioned above, Sereď played a great game against Gbelany and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one.
The manager P. Lérant will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Javornik Makov in only four days.
At Štadión FC ViOn Zlaté Moravce, Sereď has the goal stats of 4-0 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.
Žilina form and stats
It's gone fairly well in the Fortuna Liga away games so far for Žilina, who have the most scored goals (9) away in Fortuna Liga, with six points collected from three matches.
D. Kurminowski (2), D. Ďuriš, P. Myslovič and J. Kiwior scored in Žilina's previous match, the home game against Zemplín Michalovce that ended 6-2. It was a Europa League defeat before that one as the away game against The New Saints (after extra-time) wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.
As mentioned above, Žilina was the only team on the pitch versus Zemplín Michalovce in their previous game, winning 6-2. This could be a tougher task.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Žilina manager P. Stano as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Namestovo.
The Žilina manager P. Stano has seen his team go crazy on the road this season, having scored 9 goals in 3 league matches away. 4 goals have been conceded by Žilina in these games.
