Žilina was promising this season, especially in its early stages, when they beat the champion Slovan 5-0. They were also the leader, but recently made some mistakes and now surrendered the first place, trailing by four points. As a host, they are still unbeaten after seven wins and one draw, but lost their last three home games against Slovan.
The champion Slovan returned to the top and once again shows superiority at the local level, despite a shocking loss to Žilina at the beginning of the season. During the week, they warmed up for the match with a 6-0 home win over Komarno in a postponed match. As a guest, they have only one draw and seven wins so far in the championship, and with another win, they will make a serious claim to defend their title.
Forecast: X2 double chanceŽilina won their last two matches against Slovan, but I don't think they will do it for the third time in a row. Slovan has entered good form during the season and this time I expect them not to be on the losing side in this clash.
