- In contrast, top scorer Aleksa Maras has six in eight from the same fixture total.
- Dani Homet leads the goal charts for the visitors with three in six Super Liga 2026/2027 matches.

Betting Insights
- Košice are favourites at 2.04, but only just, with Šošoni (Žilina) at 2.99.
- Over 2.5 goals at 1.31 and Both Teams To Score at 1.33 point to an open, high-scoring game.
- Both numbers are quite attractive, but Košice have just that little bit extra in the home advantage department to warrant support.
Prediction
- A similar matchup is expected at Kosice Football Arena and the odds suggest this could be a very close and competitive matchup.
- The most likely scenario is a hard-fought, high-scoring battle that could still be in the balance on the final whistle, with both teams capable of finding the net.
