It's no vacation for neither Trenčín nor Slovan Bratislava as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Slovan Bratislava have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 5-4-2 (win-draw-loss) from eleven matches.
