After the first set of fixtures it's Žilina - DAC 1-3 in points. Who will achieve victory in this second Fortuna Liga match of the season?

Žilina's stadium, Štadión Pod Dubňom, has a artifical turf surface. DAC have grass on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for DAC when playing on artifical turf; 3 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss from eight matches. They have scored 16 goals in these games and conceded 13.

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Europa Conference League game only four days ago. That game, against Vikingur, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for DAC.
