#1: ZILINA v Slovan @ 1.45 (Unibet), stake: 5/10
I have been going to games of both teams this season and Zilina built around the Slovenian midfield maestro Vrsic and players such as Jez, Nemec, Sestak, Vomacka and Pekarik are in a class of their own in this league. If nothing unexpected happens, they should be able to dispose of Slovan with relative ease. This is the first round after the winter break and Slovan have a few new players so maybe some caution is in place (Gottwald, Ibragimov from Uzbekistan and the gifted Sylvestre). Nevertheless, even the pre-season form clearly speaks for Zilina who have been beating quality opponents which cannot be said about Slovan.
Possible line-ups:
Zilina: Kuciak - Pekarik, Vomacka, Hubocan, Leitner - Sestak, Vrsic, Strba, Jez - Nemec, Porazik
Out: Devaty (good player but Sestak is even better in his position), Pecalka, Styvar (a new signing, doubtful)
Slovan: Kiss - Struhar, Hanek, Dobrotka, Szabo - Slovak, Kubala, Chlebek, Sedlak - Gottwald, Masaryk
Out: Polgar, Meszaros
