Team news DAC 1904 Dunajska Streda
The home side will be significantly boosted by the return of their captain and key central defender, Dominik Kružliak, from suspension. His presence will further strengthen a backline that is already difficult to breach at home. The manager has a nearly full-strength squad to choose from and is expected to field his best possible lineup to maintain their strong start to the season.
Team news MFK Ruzomberok
MFK Ruzomberok faces a potential challenge in attack for this difficult away trip. Last season’s top scorer, Martin Boďa, is a doubt after picking up a minor ankle injury in training this week. Should he be unavailable, it would place a significant creative burden on the midfield to craft chances against a very organized DAC defence.
