On 3 September 2026, Michalovce Dukla hosted DEAК for a club friendly. The match ended with a 5:3 scoreline for the home side. It was a day where the attack clearly outweighed the defence for both squads.
To be fair, the hosts have been involved in plenty of goals recently. They beat Kosice 4:2 before suffering a heavy 4:7 defeat against Liptovsky Mikulas. The defence conceded heavily in these fixtures.
The visitors had a mixed run against DVTК earlier in the year. They won 5:1 and 4:3 but also lost 1:2 and 0:1 in separate encounters. Then came a 5:10 drubbing against Spisska-Nova-Ves in late August. And here's the thing, there is no value left at that number for their defence.
In this encounter, the pattern continued. Eight goals were shared between the two sides without any cards or substitutions recorded. Neither team seemed to get out of second gear defensively.
A result of 5:3 might suggest dominance for Michalovce Dukla, but the margin is narrow given the total output. Both sides will need to address defensive issues before the next fixture. By then, they will hope the attack remains sharp while the back line tightens up.
