FK Košice vs Žilina: match statistics
Žilina are the favorites of this match despite their recent poor form. The visitors are in 3rd place in the table with a record of 11 wins and a 40% win rate away, while FK Košice are in 9th place with only 40% of home wins and as many as 50% defeats. The key argument for Žilina is their higher shooting efficiency (17% shot conversion rate vs the hosts' 10%) and a solid advantage in goal difference away (+5 vs the hosts' 0). Although FK Košice impress with a streak of 5 consecutive wins, their defense in home matches raises serious concerns – on average conceding 1.8 goals with an xGA of 1.4, which indicates structural defensive issues. Despite their recent poor run (1 win in 5 matches), Žilina have better potential and experience in the fight for top positions, which should translate into a favorable outcome in this clash.
