Perhaps a welcome break from league football as OFK Malzenice & Spartak Trnava face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Slovakia Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It's no vacation for neither Malzenice nor Spartak Trnava 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.
These teams have little in common geographically as Spartak Trnava have to travel 1100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Spartak Trnava form and stats
