The Fortuna Liga league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. These two teams are placed 12th and 8th respectively.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

The home fans saw their team lose the first game of the season here at Futbalový štadión MFK Zemplín. Last season these fans witnessed 8 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses from Zemplín Michalovce's 16 home games. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Zemplín Michalovce to get some points in this home game.

Senica form and stats

Senica have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats were 4 victories, 2 draws and 10 defeats from 16 fixtures.

The manager Ricardo Chéu was unhappy after their last game, a Fortuna Liga match played at their home ground Futbalový štadión MFK Zemplín. Senica suffered a 0-3 loss to Slovan Bratislava. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Sereď wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Senica playing away and similar expectations, we found three relevant matches. Results were 1 Senica win, 0 draws and 2 defeats.

Senica has another fixture away, a Slovakia Cup game, against Rohoznik in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!

Senica has the goal stats of 1-2 (for/against) from 1 business trip at the early stages of this season.
