The Niké liga clash between KFC Komárno and AS Trenčín on Sunday, October 25, 2026, pits the league’s bottom two sides against each other at the Stadion KFC Komárno, with kickoff set for 15:30 local time. Komárno enters the 12th-round fixture anchored to the 12th and final spot in the standings with six points from 11 matches, while Trenčín occupies the 11th position with eight points after playing one game fewer.
Coaching Changes and Standings Stakes at the Bottom
Komárno enters the weekend following a turbulent week that saw the club dismiss head coach Norbert Czibor alongside four members of his backroom staff after a 1-0 home defeat to Ružomberok. The team dropped to last place following that result, extending their winless run in the top flight to 11 matches. To spark a turnaround, the club appointed 37-year-old Pavol Gregora as head coach. Gregora arrives from second-tier club Pohronie and brings prior experience from youth setups at Trnava, Senica, and Podbrezova, as well as a stint coaching the Sparta Prague women’s team. His tenure began midweek with a Slovnaft Cup fourth-round exit against Zlaté Moravce, where the match ended scoreless before Zlaté Moravce advanced 6-5 on penalties.
Trenčín Momentum and Recent Form
AS Trenčín makes the journey south aiming to build upon a victory under their own newly installed leadership. Trenčín recently turned to head coach Marek Ďanovský, whose arrival helped snap a four-match negative streak. The team enters Sunday’s fixture buoyed by a 2-0 win over Skalica, a result that lifted them to 11th place with eight points. In the sides’ previous meeting earlier this season in July, the fixture ended in a 1-1 draw on Trenčín’s home turf.
