Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Povazska Bystrica & Dubnica face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Slovakia Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Povazska Bystrica form and stats
Povazska have not come this way in the Slovakia Cup without some hard work on the way, more precisely defeating Partizan Precin. Last season, Povazska's Slovakia Cup journey ended in the 2nd round.Povazska has a nice streak going on as they have played twelve consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Zlate Moravce-Vrable II defeat 340 days ago.
The Povazska supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Nove Mesto nad Vahom in 3. Liga - Zapad and win 1-0.
Before that match, a 3. Liga - Zapad win away at Castkovce.There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Povazska Bystrica as they are travelling to their away game against Slovan Levice in the 3. Liga - Zapad. That match is four days after this one.
Dubnica form and stats
Dubnica's mission in Slovakia Cup last season failed in the 4th round.The visitors are W0-D1-L3 on the road this term. That's in the 2. Liga.
There might be some fixture complaints from Dubnica as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the 2. Liga match against Zilina II (3-4). A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Dubnica, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
A home win before that, celebrating 4-0 vs Námestovo.The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Partizan Bardejov in just four days.
Dubnica are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 4 away goals from 4 games (in the league). The Dubnica manager P. Jakuš has some worries about the defense as 9 goals have been conceded in these travels.
