Competition: World Club Friendlies 3
Competition: Fri 21.January
Match begins: 12:00 (UTC)
Venue: TBC (17000 seats)

Rijeka challenge Slovácko for prestige and sporting success.

These teams have little in common geographically as Slovácko have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Only a few days to rest for the home side, as they played a Club Friendlies 3 fixture only two days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Gorica, was also a home game here at TBC. The away team is better rested.

Slovácko form and stats

Let's have a look at how Slovácko performed last season in the Club Friendlies 3: They landed a 4th position in the league table after playing out 12 victories, 3 draws and 4 defeats. In total they scored 38 and conceded 22 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 4 - drew 3 and lost 3 with 20/16 goals scored/conceded.

We have checked recent matches where Slovácko have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those four games were two victories, zero draws and two defeats.

Slovácko have another match that requires travelling in just four days, a Club Friendlies 3 fixture vs Olimpija. A grim programme for the visiting team!
