Skalica (home)
- Skalica have won their last 2 home games but Trencin have won 5 of their 11 away Super Liga matches.
- The hosts have more of a compact, direct style since Roman Hudec took over as head coach in December 2025.
- Skalica look to defend in numbers and catch the opposition on the counter or from set-pieces.
Trencin (away)
- Trencin are in fine form and should justify being the favorites to beat a scrappy MFK Skalica side at the Stadion MFK Skalica on Sunday.
- Ricardo Moniz’s side are 9th in the Super Liga 2025-2026 table on 24 points from 22 games, eight more than their hosts who are 12th.
- The Portuguese tactician sets his team up in an attacking 4-3-3 formation that plays proactively with the ball and presses opponents hard when out of possession.
- The visitors like to stretch the game wide and their pressing can trouble many Super Liga opponents, including Skalica, who like to sit deep and block up in numbers.
Head-to-Head
- Trencin have won three of the last five meetings between these clubs, while Skalica have won once and there has been one draw.
- Trencin have won four of their last five games and beat Skalica 2-1 in a Super Liga Relegation Group match four weeks ago.
- Both teams have averaged 0.5 goals per game when Skalica have been the hosts, which suggests there will be few goalmouth action in this Super Liga relegation six-pointer.
Key Players
- Eynel Soares has found his shooting boots for Trencin, scoring four goals in four Super Liga games this season, while Korede David has three goals in the last five.
- Skalica have no one better than Marek Svec, who has three in 15 Super Liga appearances this campaign, so an away goal could be the difference here.
Betting Insights
- Backing Trencin to win at 3.72 is a strong bet for Sunday’s clash, but there may be a bit more value to be gleaned from the goal markets for this one.
- We are taking ‘Under 2.5 goals’ at 1.85 and ‘Both teams to score - Yes’ at 1.75 because Trencin score an average of 1.00 goals per away game in the Super Liga, but also concede 1.73.
- Skalica score an average of 0.82 goals and concede 1.18 per home Super Liga match, so both figures are likely to be lower in this tight and nervy affair.
Prediction
Trencin will come out on top in a scrappy contest, however, because of their form, away record and head-to-head dominance over Skalica.
