After successive victories, this was their first dropped points of the campaign and will look to get back to wins.

Weiss’ sole strike for the visitors in the 81st minute made the difference as Slovakia got their 2nd win of the group and jumped to 6 points from 3 matches.
It’s a battle between the top two sides in group C. Hence, a cracker jack of a contest is expected as two in-form and consistent sides go head-to-head.
Both sides met in the reverse leg on 7th June, where Kazakhstan won 1-0 through Darabayev’s goal.
While the hosts have lost 1 of their last matches, Slovakia has been defeated twice in their previous 5 matches.

Rodak, Pekarik, Satka, Valjent, De Marco, Suslov, Lobotka, Hrosovsky, Haraslin, Rusnak and Strelec
Prediction: Kazakhstan 0-1 Slovakia
This should be a good watch as two in-form sides meet each other in an important clash of this group.
While the hosts hope to get back to winning ways after the stalemate, Slovakia eye momentum with successive wins.
The visitors have a slightly more potent line-up and should nick this one by an odd goal.
