Tobol – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Combiners” were only in 8th position in the final standings of the previous local championship. Now, by the way, they have noticeably improved their performance – they are in 4th place, however, without a chance for anything more. At the same time, the club managed to win the national cup in 2023 (and the Super Cup after the winter break).
It was the cup successes that opened the way to the Europa League. Still, the result there is clearly worse than a year ago in the Conference League, where the representative of Kazakhstan eliminated Honka, Basel and Derry City. This time, the team, having opened the score, lost devastatingly.
Ruzomberok – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Roses” have only once been champions of Slovakia. Nevertheless, they play successfully in the cup format. The club played its fifth final, and again, as in 2027, won the trophy in the spring. That result sent it, despite only 5th place in the championship, to the Europa League.
The club got off to a great start there. It didn’t hurt that the team started with a conceded goal – then the Kazakhs’ enthusiasm was enough to level it before the break. Still, the guests crumbled and lost devastatingly – 5-2.
