It's game two of the Fortuna Liga season and everything to play for. Read our full preview of Zlaté Moravce-Žilina!

Zlaté Moravce's stadium, Štadión FC ViOn Moravce, has a grass surface. Žilina have artifical turf 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 Žilina when playing on grass; 18 wins, 10 draws and 15 losses from 43 matches. They have scored 72 goals in these games and conceded 55.
