Home - Zemplin Michalovce
- Zemplin Michalovce have won three and lost two of their last five competitive games, while Kosice have won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five.
- Zemplin are placed seventh in Super Liga 2026/2027 with 13 points from 10 games, just one place behind Kosice in sixth on 13 points from nine.
- Zemplin are coming off an excellent 1-0 home win over Dukla Banska Bystrica but they are likely to struggle again against another of the division's leading sides.
- Anton Soltis' side have won three, drawn once and lost two of their six Super Liga 2026/2027 home games and they scored a measly 1.17 goals per game at home while conceding 1.00 per game.
- Soltis has moulded Zemplin into a compact, counter-attacking unit that always remain organised and hit hard in transition when they can get the ball back quickly.
Away - Kosice
- Kosice have won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five.
- Kosice are far more open than Zemplin and play a flexible system that sees them rotate their forwards quickly to create as much chaos as possible in the opponent's box.
- Peter Cernak's men, who have been under his charge since 17 December 2025, play at a higher tempo and get more width into their attacks, but they are not as solid defensively and have already conceded 13 goals away from home, from one win, two draws and one defeat in four trips.
Head-to-Head
- Kosice have won four of the last five head-to-head games with no draws and won 2-0 in the last away H2H in April.
- Kosice are a shade of a favorite at 2.14 when they travel to Zemplin Stadium to take on MFK Zemplin Michalovce, with the home side at 2.88 and the draw at 3.78.
Key Players
- Aleksa Maras, with six goals in eight Super Liga 2026/2027 games, is Kosice's main danger man and the most likely to provide the cutting edge up front for Žlto-modrí, while Elvis Mashike Sukisa is Zemplínčania's top scorer with a paltry two goals in nine league games.
- But Sukisa has scored two of his team's six goals in the past six and should be the main target of the home team.
Betting Insights
- Kosice are a shade of a favorite at 2.14 when they travel to Zemplin Stadium to take on MFK Zemplin Michalovce, with the home side at 2.88 and the draw at 3.78.
- However, these odds can't be taken at face value because of the proximity of the two teams in the league table and the fact that Zemplin lost two of their six home games in the Super Liga 2026/2027.
- However, this should be an open game with plenty of goals and the odds for over 2.5 goals at 1.43 are very low, so we're taking both teams to score at 1.41 as the top alternative market because it is a little more generous.
Prediction
- We're going for Kosice to nick it here, but it will be a tough match in the Slovakian heat and the visitors' superiority could be in the margins.
