Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Slovan Bratislava & Petržalka akadémia 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 Slovan Bratislava nor Petržalka akadémia 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 are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
