Slovan Bratislava played Mlada Boleslav in a club friendly match on Thursday, losing 3:5. The game took place in Bratislava on 4 September 2026. The visitors came away with a comfortable result against their hosts.
By then the visitors had already shown signs of vulnerability in recent outings. Mlada Boleslav lost 6:0 to Liberec and 3:1 in another meeting with the same opponent. They had beaten Sparta Prague 3:1 and drawn with Jihlava 3:4 before that. To be fair, the away side had scored in each of their last four games.
The hosts' recent record offered little comfort either. Slovan Bratislava had lost 2:3 to Brno, 2:5 to Graz, and 1:2 to Sparta Prague. They had won 6:5 against Vienna Capitals and 5:4 against České Budějovice before that run. And here's the thing, those high-scoring results suggested a team playing without much defensive structure.
The five-goal margin did not come from sudden brilliance. The visitors simply took their chances while the hosts struggled to contain them. Slovan Bratislava cannot afford another slip if they want to build momentum. The defeat comes at a tricky moment with the season approaching.
Mlada Boleslav move ahead in their preparations with a convincing result. Slovan Bratislava have work to do before competitive fixtures begin. The scoreline tells you everything you need to know about where both sides stand right now.
