Slovakia currently sits in third place with eight points in five games this campaign. The Repre (Slovakia's nickname) started its tournament with a 1-1 draw against Lithuania on September 7, 2012. Four days later, Slovakia managed a 2-0 win over Liechtenstein in Bratislava. A month later, the team utilized two goals in the first 10 minutes to coast to a 2-1 win over Latvia. However, the Slovakians lost 1-0 against Greece and drew 1-1 with Lithuania in their most recent games.
These three points are vital for Slovakia as they will play two of their final four games against Group leader Bosnia and Herzegovina; Slovakia will also play one match against Greece in its final four. Marek Sapara and Martin Jakubko have combined for five of the team's six goals in the tournament.
Liechtenstein only has one point in five matches. The squad opened the tournament with an 8-1 loss against Bosnia and Herzegovina and dropped its second match 2-0 against Slovakia. After another two losses against Lithuania and Latvia, the team finally earned its first and only qualifying point in a 1-1 draw with Latvia.
Prediction: Liechtenstein has been the group's perennial punching bag. Slovakia is a team desperate for points with time winding down. Look for the latter squad to dominate this match in a 3-0 victory.
Start Time: 2:00 PM EST
