Slovakia vs Kazakhstan prediction 29.09.2026 | Nations League

Although Slovakia appeared in the last three EUROs, they are in their third straight Nations League in League C. With teams like Moldova, Kazakhstan, and the Faroe Islands in the same group, Slovakia seems by far the best team and is a huge favorite to progress to the higher level. After losing the World Cup playoffs to Kosovo, Slovakia are unbeaten in their last four games. In the Nations League opening round, Vladimir Weiss' team beat Moldova 2-0 at home. The hosts finished with xG of 1.71, while the visitors had only 0.41, so Slovakia's victory was well deserved.

Slovakia's head coach, Vladimir Weiss, was pleased with a victory against Moldova in the Nation League opening round. He stated, "I'm glad that we lived up to our role as favorites. It could have been better, but we started poorly and gave the ball away too many times. After the first goal, we settled down. There were some very good performances, but also some weaker ones. Overall, I'm satisfied with the players' approach and, of course, with getting the three points."

Kazakhstan have never played in a major tournament. At the Nations League, they played in League B in the previous campaign, but after only one point in six matches, Kazakhstan had to step down to the lower level. John van 't Schip's team played well in some matches in 2026, but they are still winless in the last three games. In the previous game, Kazakhstan played 1-1 on the road against the Faroe Islands. The visitors struggled to create chances, but they made the most of their opportunities and picked up a valuable victory.

After a draw in Tórshavn, Kazakhstan's head coach, John van 't Schip, was very satisfied. He commented, "We remained focused throughout the game. When necessary, we defended well. Overall, apart from the goal we conceded, we performed well defensively. In the second half, the Faroe Islands had a similar opportunity, but this time the ball went wide.

Overall, I think we maintained our concentration throughout the entire game and managed to defend as a team. Coming away from here with one point is a good start for us."
