Fortuna Liga prediction: Home win expected when Slovan Bratislava takes on Zemplín Michalovce

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Slovan Bratislava form and stats

Slovan Bratislava are confident in defense, having played 343 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.

Bratislava are returning here after visiting Nitra in a Fortuna Liga game and winning with a 5-0 scoreline. Before that, Bratislava drew at home versus Spartak Trnava.

As mentioned above, Bratislava "killed" Nitra in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

There will be little rest for Slovan Bratislava after this match as they are travelling to Zlate Moravce for a Fortuna Liga game in only four days.

Last season, Slovan Bratislava's league statistics were 17 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss, resulting in a 1st position in the Fortuna Liga. Over these 22 matches they scored 46 goals and conceded 11. Playing at home last season Slovan Bratislava managed 10-1-0 (win-draw-lost) with 26 goals and 2 conceded.

Zemplín Michalovce form and stats

Michalovce aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 397 league minutes without a goal. I. Zofcak was the last player to find the net.

The manager J. Čepi Majoroš was unhappy after their last game, a Fortuna Liga match played at their home ground Futbalový štadión MFK Zemplín. Michalovce suffered a 0-2 loss to Spartak Trnava (placed 3rd). Prior to that match, the Michalovce manager J. Čepi Majoroš faced defeat when travelling to Žilina and losing 0-5.

As mentioned above, the bookmakers do not believe the away team will get anything from this match. Checking Michalovce's match history for similar games we find three matches. The home team won three of these as expected, three of them by at least two goals. Zemplín Michalovce managed zero draws and zero surprise wins.
