Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 0-2
Slovakia
Luxembourg will be aiming to recover from a 3-1 loss to Northern Ireland when they face Slovakia on Sunday evening. Luxembourg failed to impress in their Group A opener and they face yet another difficult task against Slovakia. With important defender Seid Korac missing out through suspension, we do not believe that home win should be considered.
The Slovaks, on the other hand, did remarkably well to shock Germany (2-0) in the opening match of their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign. Slovakia are definitely more of a team than Luxembourg and we predict that Stanislav Lobotka and Co. will give fans yet another reason to celebrate in round 2. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team, but all Haraslin, Schranz, Suslov, and Vavro remain in the treatment room. In their last meeting in a competitive match, Slovakia recorded a hard-fought 1-0 win over Luxembourg.
Highlighted Team (Slovakia):
Slovakia only appeared on the international stage in 1993 as Czechoslovakia fell apart, and the new national team have yet to record a result worth mention. Repre have only qualified for two major tournaments so far, the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2016, but the current generation definitely seem capable of improving the team’s profile in years to come.
Slovakia currently have quite a few players plying their trade in some of Europe’s top sides, with Marek Hamsik, Martin Skrtel and Juraj Kucka clearly the leaders of the national team at the moment, but they do struggle in some areas and are not exactly world beaters just yet. Under Vladimir Weiss and Jan Kozak, Slovakia have become a tough not to crack, relying on rock-solid back line and swift counter-attacks, and they even gave Spain a tough time during the Euro 2016 qualifiers.
Miroslav Karhan and Robert Vittek are the most capped player and top goalscorer respectively, with Robert Vittek another player worth the mention.
