In the fourth round of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, Slovakia will face Luxembourg. The match is set for Monday, October 13, at 20:45 CET. Here’s an overview of the game along with a betting suggestion.
Slovakia started their World Cup qualifying campaign strongly, defeating Germany 2–0 at home. They followed this with a narrow 1–0 away victory against Luxembourg, earning six points from their first two matches. However, Slovakia recently experienced a setback, losing 0–2 to Northern Ireland, which has affected their standing, pushing them below Germany and Northern Ireland. This upcoming match against Luxembourg is crucial, especially since Germany will be playing Northern Ireland, presenting Slovakia an opportunity to move back into the top two.
Meanwhile, Luxembourg is in a challenging position. They have lost all three of their matches: 1–3 to Northern Ireland, 0–1 to Slovakia, and most recently, 0–4 to Germany. With no points and a goal difference of 1–8, their chances of progressing are slim. They’re six points behind the group leaders and would need to win all their remaining matches to have a shot at the top two, which seems unlikely given their current form.
After their recent loss, Slovakia needs a win to keep their World Cup hopes alive. Playing at home should give them the advantage they need. The suggested bet is Slovakia to score over 1.5 goals.
