Tasty clash of styles between Trencin and Trnava
Form and odds
FC Spartak Trnava have been slick on the road in the Super Liga 2026/2027, winning their only away game and scoring twice without reply. Antonio Munoz's side have also been the most consistent side in the division, winning three of their four matches, and they travel to Stadion Sihot on Sunday as the clear favourites.
Spartak Trnava are 1.85 for this game, Trencin are 3.78, and the draw is 3.72, so the bookmakers are clearly on the visitors, as they should be, to win this. However, Trencin have been competitive at home, drawing one and losing none of their one game, and they will certainly make this tough for the Andeli.
Tactics and key players
Ricardo Moniz has got Trencin playing a high-pace vertical game, in which they press high and look to exploit turnovers in the top third of the pitch. However, Trnava have the edge in the attacking zone, with David Poltak their most reliable forward. Trnava will look to control the ball and slow the game down, which should play into their hands, and means that we may see a clash of football cultures on Sunday afternoon in Slovakia.
- In Cody David, Trencin have the firepower to go forward quickly, as he has notched four goals in his side's last five games.
- Poltak has two goals in two Super Liga 2026/2027 matches, and he can create enough havoc in the box to help Trnava get the better of Trencin.
- Eynel Soares is Trencin's most creative player, he has two assists in Super Liga 2026/2027.
Prediction
This game has all the ingredients of a competitive match, although Trnava look the likelier winners here. Trencin have been a mixed bag since the start of the Super Liga 2026/2027 season, drawing 1-1 with KFC Komarno and 3-3 at FC Kosice, before their 2-1 loss at Podbrezova.
Over 2.5 goals at 1.71 is my main selection for this clash, in which Trencin will hunt turnovers, and Trnava will attempt to control the pace. Trencin have enough attacking threat to make this competitive.
