Kosicka futbalova arena will be the centre of attention when Slovakia and Northern Ireland take on each other in a highly-anticipated World Cup qualifier. With a playoff berth on the line, Slovakia want to keep their hopes of securing a direct ticket to the tournament as well. The good news for the hosts is that Slavia Prague forward Ivan Schranz has overcome his injury.
The Green and White Army, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Germany, but with Slovakia being a real force to be reckoned with at home, we are tempted to bet on Stanislav Lobotka and Co. Speaking of the away team, Patrick Kell has received his first call-up, while all Shea Charles, Ali McCann, and Brodie Spencer have been ruled out with injuries. Earlier in the process, Northern Ireland defeated Slovakia 2-0 in Belfast, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
This World Cup 2026 match will be played on Friday 14 November 2025 at 19:45.
