Fortuna Liga match preview: Trenčín versus Podbrezová

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

This stadium uses artificial turf, unlike Podbrezová's home stadium. The visitors last four games on artificial turf have ended in 0 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses.

Trenčín form and stats

Trenčín, who have the most conceded goals (17) at home in Fortuna Liga, have collected 14 points from their home games so far after 4-2-5. Trenčín has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager M. Kohler and the players.

Trenčín lost their last game at Zlaté Moravce after a 1-2 scoreline. Preceding that match was a defeat to Nitra (1-4).

The Trenčín fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 16 in 11 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Trenčín defense is not exactly impregnable. 17 goals conceded from 11 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Podbrezová form and stats

There's been little loot from Podbrezová's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 11 away games. Podbrezová only have 2 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 2 draws. Podbrezová are desperate to end a eleven-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Nitra fixture.

Two away games in a row for Podbrezová, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-3 versus Spartak Trnava in the Fortuna Liga. A 0-1 loss hosting Zlaté Moravce before that.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Podbrezová playing away, we found two games. Results were 1 away win, 1 draw and 0 home wins.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Podbrezová as they have only managed to score 9 times from 11 away games. In the opposite end, Podbrezová have conceded 20 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Podbrezová - Trenčín 0-0. H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Trenčín 4 wins, 3 draws and Podbrezová 3 victories. As for goals, 3 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 7 games had two or less.
