Zemplín Michalovce form and stats
Zemplín Michalovce, who have the most conceded goals (42) in Fortuna Liga, have played 11 Fortuna Liga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-2-5 (wins-draws-losses).
The Michalovce supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Nitra in Fortuna Liga and win 1-0. Prior to that, an away loss at DAC.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of J. Čepi Majoroš when D. Popovits scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 81st minute.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Zemplín Michalovce matches with similar probabilities have ended with four wins, zero draws and zero defeats (from four games).
Michalovce has scored 12 league goals at home this season, in 11 matches. Michalovce have conceded 16 in these home matches.
Nitra form and stats
As the visiting team in Fortuna Liga matches, Nitra, who have the fewest scored goals (21) in Fortuna Liga, have produced an overall stat of 4-1-6 so far.
E. Jendrisek was the last player to score for the away team. Nitra haven't scored a league goal in the last 214 minutes.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Nitra, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Zemplín Michalovce. 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 Nitra playing away, we found six games. Results were one away win, one draw and four home wins.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Nitra have scored 11 goals in 11 league games away. Nitra's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 21 goals from these trips.
