Csikszereda — Feha19: 3:2, Erste Liga

Match Report

Chiksereda saw off Fe19 3-2 in the Erste Liga on Sunday, October 11th. Two points on the board for the home side and another costly defeat for the visitors who remain winless this season. To be fair, the result followed the pattern both teams have shown recently.

Chiksereda scored first and then held their nerve when Fe19 pulled one back. The visitors pressed for an equaliser but the hosts weathered the storm and added a second before the break. Fe19 responded with a late consolation, but it wasn't enough to change the outcome.

By then we had already seen this script before. We gave a home win prediction at 48 per cent confidence, and the match played out as expected. Not a surprise, really — Chiksereda have the deeper squad and Fe19 have yet to find a way through.

Both sides sit in the lower half of the table with zero points after eight rounds. That tells you something about the opening months. Chiksereda, unbeaten in only three of their last five, showed character to close out a game they could have lost.

Fe19's away form has been particularly poor — a 3-7 defeat to Brašov last time out being the latest example. They need to turn a corner quickly if they want to avoid a difficult season.
