SOCCER: Gyori ETO at Trencin Preview

TRENČÍN, Slovakia (Interstat) — Gyori ETO visits Trencin on Saturday in a Club Friendly that pits a Hungarian side with no competitive matches since September against a Slovak club trying to snap a losing streak.

The game kicks off at Mestský futbalový štadión Na Sihoti in Trenčín. Gyori ETO is listed as the home team despite the venue being Trencin’s home ground.

Trencin (0-1-4 in its last five) comes off a 1-0 loss at Malacky on May 9. The result extended a rough stretch in which Trencin has lost four of seven overall, including a 7-1 thrashing at FC Baník Prievidza on April 25. The club’s lone win since late March came April 12, a 2-1 decision at FC Petržalka B. Trencin managed only one goal in the last two matches.

Gyori ETO has not played a game since Sept. 20, when it beat Puskas 2-0 in a domestic competition. That win capped a string of six matches in the second half of 2025 – all friendlies or European qualifiers. Gyori went 4-2 in that stretch, with losses to Rapid Vienna (2-0 on Aug. 28) and AIK (2-1 on Aug. 7). The team’s most recent away result was a 2-1 victory over Rapid Vienna on Aug. 21.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 1-0 win for Trencin, giving the Slovak side a 54.70 percent probability of victory according to its ELO system.

Trencin’s next contest is also at home against Maribor later Saturday, but that fixture is separate from this friendly.

Gyori ETO will be eager to shake off rust after an eight-month layoff. Trencin hopes to rediscover the form that produced eight goals in a May 1 win over Raca, the club’s only victory since March 29.

The match is part of the Club Friendlies of Club Friendlies series and carries no points, but both teams likely see it as a chance to build momentum. Trencin’s recent defensive struggles – 10 goals conceded in the last three outings – could offer opportunities for a Gyori attack that scored 11 goals in six matches last summer.

Kickoff is at 7 p.m. local time.
