Spiscka-Nova-Ves faced Tychy in a club friendly on Thursday, August 21. The match finished with a score of 5:4 in favour of the hosts. It was a high-scoring affair that offered little tactical restraint. And here's the thing, these friendlies often reveal more than the results suggest.
To be fair, a five-goal margin is rare in such open games. The defence looked porous on both sides throughout the ninety minutes. By then, the players were clearly testing their fitness rather than executing a game plan.
Spiscka-Nova-Ves arrived with mixed momentum. They had lost 1:2 to Michalovce Dukla on Wednesday. However, they bounced back with a 4:1 win over Presov on the previous weekend. That earlier victory showed their attacking potential clearly. It gave the coach confidence before this fixture.
Tychy's recent run has been less consistent. They dropped points in a 1:2 defeat to Presov and a 1:3 loss to AZ Havířov. Before that, they had mixed results against Katowice and Zagłębie Sosnowiec.
The result leaves the home side with a positive note ahead of the season. The away side will look to tighten things up in training. It was a useful test for both squads. And here's the thing, pre-season form rarely dictates the final table.
