Fiľakovo form and stats
They also participated in Slovakia Cup last season. This ended in the 1st round.The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Fiľakovo so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-5 (win-draw-lose). Bitter travels for Fiľakovo as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Kovacova match.
It's the second away game in a row for Fiľakovo, but there's smiles all around after the 4-1 victory versus Buzitka in the Slovakia Cup last time out.
A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting Banik Kalinovo in the 3. Liga - Center.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Fiľakovo manager J. Vizteleki as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Novohrad Lucenec.
Goals are few and far between in Fiľakovo's away league games. Only 3 goals from 7 travels. As opposed to that, Fiľakovo have seen the ball go into their own net 9 times on the road.
