Spišská Nová Ves and Michalovce Dukla met in a club friendly match on 18 August 2026, with the visitors claiming a 2:1 win. The game took place at 3:30 local time in Slovakia.
The hosts came into the fixture buoyed by a 4:1 victory over Prešov just four days earlier on 14 August. That result suggested they were building momentum ahead of the new season.
Michalovce Dukla's recent record against Nitra showed inconsistency. They won two of five matches against their Trnava rivals in late March, but also suffered defeats, including a 5:1 loss on 31 March.
These two sides have crossed paths several times this year. Spišská Nová Ves won 5:0 on 12 March but lost 1:2 and 2:3 in other meetings during the same month.
The 2:1 scoreline gives Michalovce Dukla the edge in this particular encounter, though the friendly nature of the fixture limits its significance beyond player evaluation.
