Slovakia are gradually embarking on a new cycle, putting the playoff defeat to Kosovo (3-4) behind them. The team narrowly missed out on a World Cup berth, falling just short at the final hurdle. Now, their focus shifts to the Nations League. In June, Slovakia played a friendly, edging past Malta 2-1 in a hard-fought contest. That narrow win was sealed in the 97th minute-a crucial result, even if it came with plenty of struggle. Slovakia dominated for most of the 90 minutes but were wasteful in front of goal, converting only a handful of chances. The upcoming fixture against Montenegro is their last test before the September campaign kicks off.

The visitors’ most recent outing saw them edge past Bulgaria with a 1-0 victory.

Here’s a breakdown of the match stats (Montenegro vs Bulgaria):

• Possession: 90% vs 10%
• Corners: 2 vs 1
• Fouls committed: 21 vs 20
• Yellow cards: 1 vs 2
• Shots on target: 4 vs 2

Montenegro, unlike their opponents, have only dreamed of reaching the World Cup. Their qualifying campaign was a disappointment, finishing above only Gibraltar in the group. To make matters worse, two of Gibraltar’s three goals in the group came against Montenegro. Clearly, the national side are not enjoying their best spell right now. On the other hand, they have managed to win two of their last three friendlies, including a victory over Bulgaria in June. Back in March, they also defeated Andorra 2-0. While these results may not carry significant weight, they at least provide a platform to build from.
