It's early days in the Fortuna Liga and both Zemplín Michalovce and Zlaté Moravce are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
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!
Zemplín Michalovce form and stats
Zemplín Michalovce's first Fortuna Liga home game here at Futbalový štadión MFK Zemplín ended in defeat. Last season their home statistics were 0 wins, 2 draws and 0 defeats from 2 matches. Michalovce has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager J. Čepi Majoroš and the players.
Stress levels are on the rise for Michalovce's attacking players as they have now played 577 minutes without scoring in a league game. I. Zofcak was their last goal scorer.
Michalovce lost their last game at Senica (placed 7th) after a 0-3 scoreline. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Slovan Bratislava (0-5).
This is expected to be a close game, with Michalovce perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Zemplín Michalovce as a small favourite), we find four games. Zemplín Michalovce has won three of these, drawn zero and lost one.
Early season league goal statistics from Zemplín Michalovce's 1 home game: 0 goals, 2 conceded.
Zlaté Moravce form and stats
One match played away so far in the Fortuna Liga for Zlaté Moravce and it was a tie. Last season the statistics for their away games were 0 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss from 2 games.
Impressive finishing from D. Duga secured the home win 2-1 against Slovan Bratislava in their previous game. Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to Trencin.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Moravce playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were two Zlaté Moravce wins, one draw and two defeats.
It's early days yet, but Zlaté Moravce has scored 1 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
