Tight, cagey clash expected between disciplined sides

Muñoz is keen to establish Trnava’s identity, pushing his team to press high up the pitch and always looking to control the midfield and get numbers behind the ball.
He has begun integrating youth and rotating the squad, but the results have been mixed and the team has shown some signs of cracking at the back in recent fixtures.
Zemplin can be tough to crack at home
They are a very direct team, whose main quality comes from transition and set pieces. This MFK Zemplin Michalovce vs FC Spartak Trnava preview highlights how Anton Šoltís has made Michalovce a structure-first team with a very similar mentality - and it is proving hard to crack.
The home crowd can make Futbalový štadión MFK Zemplín a lively place to be when they play well, but their defence has conceded 9 goals in the last five matches, which has probably contributed to their slump in the table.
