- FC Kosice have won four consecutive games and are unbeaten in their last five in all competitions.
Tatran’s home form is poor
Tatran Presov have played 11 home games in the Super Liga 2025/2026 and their record of two wins, four draws and five defeats looks poor, particularly when you consider this Tatran Presov vs FC Kosice prediction, as they have drawn their last two at the Tatran Stadion.
Erik Havrila took charge of the club in March 2026 and has found it tough to get Tatran on an even keel, so his side will need to pull out all the stops to get a win in Sunday’s derby match.
Their preferred formation is a compact low-block defensive structure that sets up to frustrate their opponents and try to nick a goal on the counter-attack. Defensively they are disciplined, but against FC Kosice’s more direct, vertical style, which includes pressing and fast breaks, this could be a problem.
Martin Regali is their main man up front and has seven goals in 20 league appearances this term. Gabriel Barbosa has provided 50% of Tatran’s goals in the last five, however, so will need to be well marked.
Cerepkai a great bet to find the back of the net again
