Previous meetings • Adam Nemec, Vladimír Weiss and Peter Pekarík scored as Slovakia won 3-0 in Zilina on 27 March. • The teams' only previous competitive meetings came in 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifying; Dušan Galis's Slovakia beat Allan Simonsen's Luxembourg 3-1 in Bratislava and 4-0 in Luxembourg. • More recently, Luc Holtz's Luxembourg saw off Vladimír Weiss's Slovakia 2-1 in a friendly game at the Stade Josy Barthel on 9 February 2011, Daniel da Mota scoring both of Luxembourg's goals. Form guide • Luxembourg were without a win in four competitive home games (D1 L3) before they beat FYR Macedonia 1-0 in September. • Slovakia's 2-0 defeat in Spain in their most recent away fixture ended a three-game winning streak on the road in Group C. • Having won their first six qualifiers, Slovakia have taken just one point from their last three, failing to score in any of them. Disciplinary • The latest booking list is available here: http://www.uefa.org/disciplinary/disciplinary-cases/booking-lists/index.html. Trivia and links • Slovakia have won all nine of their games against Luxembourg in UEFA age-group competitions. • The Slovakian outfit has won the last nine meetings between the nations' sides in UEFA club competition, FC Avenir Beggen's 2-1 success against FK Senica in the 1990/91 UEFA Cup first round the only Luxembourger victory to date. 4 Luxembourg - Slovakia Monday 12 October 2015 - 20.45CET (20.45 local time) Match press kit Stade Josy Barthel, Luxembourg Squad list Luxembourg Current season Overall Qual.
