Group J will see a top of the table clash as Slovakia host Portugal in the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying campaign. This matchday five fixture will be played at Tehelné pole stadium in Bratislava with the hosts 2nd in the table with 10 points and the visitors top with 12 points. After starting their campaign with a dull 0-0 draw against Luxembourg, Slovakia have picked up pace. They have won their next three qualifying matches to stay on the tail of leaders Portugal. Two of those wins have come with a clean sheet, so Slovakia will be happy with their progress so far. This run has seen them extend their unbeaten run in the Euro qualifiers, which now stands at seven matches. Even their home form has been steady with the Slovakians remaining unbeaten in their last five Euro home qualifiers.

Portugal have won three of their last four matches against Slovakia and would be keen to continue that run. They have been spotless in the campaign so far, winning all four matches. Portugal started with a 4-0 win over Liechtenstein and a 6-0 win over Luxembourg. They continued the momentum and picked up a 3-0 win over Bosnia followed by a 1-0 win over Iceland. With Cristiano Ronaldo in cracking form, the visitors have been able to edge out their rivals. Their form in the qualifiers has been impressive to say the least, as they won nine of their last ten matches in this competition, losing just once. The record is identical on the road with nine wins out of their last ten away Euro qualifiers.
