During the whole week, Spartak is conscientiously preparing for the summit, which will come on Sunday. The Spartans will welcome Slovan in the derby from 17:30. Before the match, we invited coach Michal Gašparík to our show "In the Hall of Fame" and the players' cabin was represented by Kristián Koštrna. They evaluated together the summer transfer period, the arrival of new players, looked back at the performance of the team in the European Conference League, and in the beginning of the Fortuna League. Of course, the debate did not avoid the upcoming match with Slovan, which will be the last one at the home stadium for a long time. After the international break, the pitch will be changed and Spartak will play mainly on opponents' pitches.
"It is more difficult in a long-term competition, where we lose points, they gain them, although not after ideal performances. In matches between each other, since I have been in Trnava, the statistics have been balanced. We won two matches, lost two, there was one draw, one forfeit in favor of Slovan. We won the cup final on their ground, so it's even, and so will this match. We will certainly try to play for victory, we want to show good offensive football at home. We will see who will be the better team at that moment, but I believe it will be us. We've got it," said coach Michal Gašparík, who knows about Slovan, although in the long term his opponent is better off. Derby does not have a favorite even if it played first against last, let alone the first two teams of the table.
Slovan and Spartak are also the two most offensive teams that scored the most goals. At the same time, Spartak dominates the statistics of shots on goal, which means that it still has reserves in converting its opportunities. "There aren't many chances in matches against Slovan. Slovan rotates their lineup, but when they play with Trnava, they put their strongest lineup in the derby because they want to succeed. Other teams may have it a little easier than us. I believe that when those chances come, we will use them, we will be efficient and with the help of the spectators we will break the match. I can promise behind the cabin that we will leave everything in that match. We will try to be successful and keep the three points at home." said Kristián Koštrna in the show.
