Winless Luxembourg Faces Uphill Battle Against In-Form Slovakia

On Monday, October 16, 2025, Slovakia will host Luxembourg in a crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier at the Anton Malatinsky Stadium. The home side is looking to recover from their first defeat of the campaign, a 2-0 loss to Northern Ireland last Friday.

Prior to that setback, Slovakia had made an impressive start to their qualifying journey. They kicked off with a 2-0 victory over Germany on September 4, followed by a 1-0 win over Luxembourg three days later. These results have left Slovakia third in Group A, level on 6 points with Germany and Northern Ireland.

In contrast, Luxembourg's qualifying campaign has been a struggle so far. They have lost all three of their matches, most recently suffering a 4-0 defeat against Germany on October 13. The visitors are yet to pick up a single point and sit bottom of the group standings.
