General match analysis

Spartak Trnava sit 3rd, while FK Košice are 7th, and the hosts have won 4 of their 7 league matches, suffering just one defeat. At home, Trnava create more chances, averaging 17.75 shots and an xG of 2.00, compared with the visitors’ 13.67 shots and xG of 1.63 away from home. Košice are highly efficient on the road, however, scoring an average of 3.33 goals per match with a 24% shooting conversion rate, so they look likely to find the net. The visitors’ key weakness remains their away defending: they concede an average of 2.67 goals, allow opponents an xG of 2.03, and have yet to keep a clean sheet. Both teams have collected 10 points from their last 5 matches, but Trnava’s advantage in game control, with average possession of 58% compared with 42%, combined with home advantage, slightly shifts the prediction in favor of the hosts.

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

The seasonal signal for both teams to score is strong: BTTS occurred in 67% of Spartak Trnava’s matches and in as many as 100% of FK Košice’s games, compared with a league average of 60%. The hosts score an average of 2.33 goals per match, while the visitors score 3.33; however, Košice concede as many as 2.67 goals per game and have not kept a single clean sheet. Their attacking potential is confirmed by an xG of 1.81 for Trnava and 1.63 for Košice, while the visitors’ defense allows an average of 2.03 xG. The last five matches were slightly more defensive, particularly for Košice, where BTTS landed in 40% of games, but both teams still scored 2.4 and 3.6 goals per match respectively. The most likely scenario therefore remains a goal for each team, primarily due to the visitors’ very weak seasonal defense and the high efficiency of both attacks.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

Trnava score an average of 2.33 goals in their matches, while Košice average 3.33 goals away from home, indicating a very open profile for both teams. Each side has exceeded the 1.5-goal threshold in 100% of their matches this season, while the Over 2.5 line has also landed in 100% of their games. Their attacking potential is supported by the xG figures: Trnava generate 1.81, while Košice allow opponents 2.03 xG, and the visitors create an average of 1.63 xG. An average of 3.4 goals has been scored in Trnava’s last five matches and 4.4 in Košice’s, making Over 1.5 the strongest and safest signal.

View Over/Under statistics
HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

FK Košice have a clearly stronger first-half profile: in their last five matches, they were leading at the break in 80% of games, scoring an average of 2.4 goals before half-time, while Spartak managed only 0.6 goals during that period. The visitors were not trailing at half-time in any of their three available league matches and collected a maximum 9 points from them, whereas the hosts were behind after 45 minutes in 40% of their last five appearances. Košice create more chances resulting in shots on target, averaging 7.33 compared with 6.0, and their finishing efficiency stands at 24%, versus 16% for Trnava. Spartak improve after the interval, averaging 1.8 goals scored and just 0.2 conceded in the second half across their last five matches, so turnaround scenarios remain realistic. Nevertheless, the strongest individual HT/FT outcome remains a Košice lead and eventual victory (1/1), supported by their 60% win rate in their last five matches and their unbeaten record in the matches played so far this season.
