Slovakia U21 and England U21 will trade tackles in a 2027 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifier on Tuesday (November 18th). The game will be played at Futbal Tetran Arena.
The hosts will be looking to build on the 2-1 comeback victory they registered over Kazakhstan at the same venue last week. They went into the break behind to Ramazan Bagdat’s 11th-minute strike. Adrian Fiala came on at halftime and turned the game on its head, equalizing seven minutes into the second half before scoring the match-winner on the hour mark.
England, meanwhile, saw off Ireland with a routine 2-0 home win. Stoke City forward Divin Mubama fluffed his lines from 12 yards out, missing a penalty midway through the first half. However, the 21-year-old held his nerve and made amends by breaking the deadlock from the spot on the hour mark, while Tyrique George made sure of the result in injury time.
The win left the Young Lions in second spot in the standings, having garnered maximum points from four games. Slovakia lead the way in the group with 13 points from five games.
