Kazakhstan and Slovakia will be battling for Group C3’s top spot when they face off at Astana Arena in their fourth UEFA Nations League round on Monday evening with kickoff at 17:00 EAT.
Initially Slovakia were the clear favorites to win the group, however now heading into the fourth round Kazakhstan lead the race for the top finish as they are one point in the clear above Slovakia. Slovakia could still win the group and a win on Monday would put them in the driving sit.
However, they will need to be playing at the top of their game as they are coming up against a side that already got three points off them on the second day. Kazakhstan claimed a narrow 1-0 win at away and will hoping for a similar result on Monday.
This will be a closely contested fixture with both sides going for all three points that could prove vital in deciding the last day winner of the group. Both are in good forms and will be fancying their chances and we believe a share of the spoils is on the line in this clash.
Kazakhstan vs Slovakia head to head
