Perhaps a welcome break from league football as MSK Tesla Stropkov & Púchov face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Slovakia Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
Púchov could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a 2. Liga game only four sleeps ago. That game, against Partizan Bardejov, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Púchov.

Prior to that, an away loss at Mladost Kalsa in the 3. Liga - East.Púchov form and stats
They also participated in Slovakia Cup last season. This ended in the 3rd round.The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Púchov so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-5 (win-draw-lose). With the Púchov losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.
