UEFA Nations League is back, and in this match Slovakia host Kazakhstan. Both teams were last in action in this competition on 26 Sep, and they come in with very different moods. Slovakia won 2-0, while Kazakhstan drew 1-1. Slovakia's last 5 matches across all competitions ended with 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, with the defeat being a 3-4 loss in World Cup qualifying in March, and they are unbeaten in 4 straight. Kazakhstan also did not lose their latest match, but they have drawn 2 of their last 5 and are without a win in 3 straight. The pattern of play is likely to be Slovakia dominating the ball and pushing forward for chances from midfield, while Kazakhstan will probably sit in a block and wait for counter-attacking moments with pace down the flanks. How open the game becomes depends on how long the defensive side can cope with the early pressure.
