vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

The table carries no weight this early in the season, so recent games count. Slovakia have played six with three wins, a draw and two defeats: 2-2 with Montenegro in the latest, before that 2-1 against Malta and 2-0 against Romania, and further back a 3-4 defeat by Kosovo, a 6-0 loss away to Germany and a 1-0 win against Northern Ireland. That is 10 goals scored and 13 conceded. Kazakhstan have five results on record, with two wins, a draw and two defeats: 3-1 lost away to Hungary in the latest, before that 1-1 away to Armenia, 1-0 against Comoros, 2-0 against Namibia and 1-0 lost away to Faroe Islands. In the two previous meetings, played in June 2022, Kazakhstan won both: 1-0 away to Slovakia and 2-1 at home, three goals to one overall. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
