Kralova vs Nova Dedinka Prediction & Betting Tips (14 August)

Before playing next match, Kralova had been on a dreadful run of form on their own patch, drawing three and losing six of their previous nine top-flight fixtures, so a visit from Nova Dedinka is hardly ideal. Speaking of the defending champions, although they have not been the force of old recently, they have still triumphed four times in seven Slovak Cup trips.

Over 2.5 goals has been the order of the day in 15 of the previous 18 matches involving Kralova at the top table of the Slovak Cup, including a 3-0 defeat at Nova Dedinka. Speaking of the visitors, they have also been providing plenty of entertainment recently, as no fewer than 15 of their last 15 games at this elite domestic level have delivered a minimum of three goals.

At least one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet from 15 of the previous 18 league games involving Nova Dedinka, and both of their meetings with Kralova last season finished goalless. Speaking of the hosts, eight of their most recent 12 home matches have followed the same pattern, so anyone expecting a thriller is likely to be disappointed by this contest.
