Zemplín Michalovce form and stats

4-2-5 (win-draw-lost) are the Fortuna Liga numbers at home for Zemplín Michalovce, who have the most conceded goals (42) in Fortuna Liga, so far this season.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Ružomberok in a game that was won 2-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Michalovce have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won three times, drawn three and lost two.

Michalovce are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 12 goals in 11 games. Michalovce's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 16 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Sereď form and stats

Sereď, who have the fewest scored goals (8) away in Fortuna Liga, have only collected 10 points from their away games in the Fortuna Liga, after 2-4-5 (11 played).

A 0-1 loss hosting Pohronie before that.

Sereď are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, one draw and six defeats. From a total of ten matches.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Sereď as they have only managed to score 8 times from 11 away games in the league. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Sereď have conceded 18 goals in these games.
