Šamorín vs Žilina II: match statistics

Šamorín are 2nd in the table and have won 4 of their 5 matches so far, scoring 10 goals in that period, while Žilina II have recorded 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat, with just 5 goals scored. The hosts create significantly more danger at home, averaging 13.67 shots and 8.33 shots on target per match, with an xG of 1.98, compared with just 6.5 shots, 1 shot on target and an xG of 0.78 for the visitors away from home. Šamorín average 1.67 goals scored at home, while Žilina II average only 0.5 away, failing to score in 50% of such matches. The visitors’ main strength is their extremely solid away defence, with a perfect record of clean sheets and an average of 0 goals conceded, although they allow opponents an xG of 1.92. The hosts’ superiority in chance creation and their run of 4 wins in their last 5 matches favour a Šamorín victory, although Žilina II’s solid defence increases the likelihood of a draw.

The BTTS pick is not primarily based on Žilina II’s very poor attacking output away from home: they average just 0.50 goals, produce an xG of 0.78, and manage only 1.0 shot on target per match. The visitors have kept a clean sheet in 100% of their away matches, while their games in this setup recorded BTTS at 0%, reinforcing the scenario in which Šamorín may fail to score. However, the hosts are an attacking threat, averaging 1.33 goals, an xG of 1.67, and 6.0 shots on target, making their goal likely. Šamorín have not kept a clean sheet, but Žilina II have scored in 50% of their away matches, and their low attacking metrics clearly limit the visitors’ chances of finding the net. The last five matches provide more balanced signals, with BTTS at 60% for Šamorín and 40% for Žilina II, but the most likely outcome remains BTTS - No: at least one team is expected not to score.

Šamorín have averaged 2.0 goals scored over their last 5 matches, with an average xG of 1.75; at the same time, Žilina II have allowed an xG of 1.69 during this period. The hosts should therefore create enough chances to score around 1.78 goals, especially as they average 13.67 shots, including 6.0 on target. The visitors’ attacking potential is clearly lower: their season xG stands at 0.78, while they average just 1.0 shot on target, although Šamorín’s weaker defence gives them a chance to score once. Despite the favourable outlook for at least two goals, both teams have seen 100% of their season matches finish below 3.5 goals, making Under 3.5 the strongest signal.

Šamorín have a clear attacking edge: they average 1.67 xG and 6 shots on target per match, while Žilina II manage just 0.78 xG and 1 shot on target. The home side led at the break in 2 of their 3 home matches, and in their last five games they took the lead before half-time on 80% of occasions. Žilina II have kept a perfect record of clean sheets away from home so far, but they also allow opponents an average of 1.92 xG, which diminishes the significance of this defensive record against Šamorín’s attacking quality. After the break, the hosts have averaged 1.0 goal across their last five appearances, while the visitors won the second half in 0% of them. Therefore, the most likely scenario is Šamorín leading at half-time and securing the win by the final whistle: 1/1.
