Slovakia vs Kazakhstan preview
Slovakia host Kazakhstan at the Košická Futbalová Aréna on September 29, 2026, in a UEFA Nations League Group 3 fixture scheduled for 18:45 UTC. The hosts enter the match sitting at the top of the group with three points following a 2-0 victory over Moldova, a game in which they limited their opponents to only one shot on target. Under manager Vladimir Weiss, Slovakia have maintained a strong home record, suffering only one defeat in their last 14 fixtures at home while keeping seven clean sheets in their previous ten matches at the venue.
Kazakhstan arrive in Slovakia trailing their hosts by two points after opening their campaign with a 1-1 draw against the Faroe Islands. In that match, Kazakhstan struggled to convert possession into scoring opportunities, managing only one shot from inside the box during open play. Manager John van 't Schip, who took charge of the team in August 2026, is overseeing a squad currently on a three-match winless streak. The visitors have also struggled on the road, failing to win any of their seven most recent away fixtures.
