DAC 1904 Dunajská Streda and MŠK Žilina Fight for Conference League Spots

Slovak football clubs DAC 1904 Dunajská Streda and MŠK Žilina compete in the second-round qualifying return matches of the Conference League on Thursday, July 30, 2026. Both teams hold narrow leads from their opening fixtures and look to secure their progression into the third qualifying round.

Slovak football supporters face a busy evening of European competition as two domestic representatives fight to advance in the continental tournament. DAC 1904 Dunajská Streda travels to Bosnia and Herzegovina to face FK Velež Mostar, while MŠK Žilina travels across the border to play Polish side SPORTNET. Both squads enter their respective away fixtures holding narrow advantages built during the opening week of the 2026/2027 Conference League second qualifying round.

FK Velež Mostar Versus DAC 1904 Dunajská Streda

The evening opens in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where FK Velež Mostar hosts DAC Dunajská Streda with kickoff scheduled for 19:00 local time (18:55 h on Slovak television). Dunajská Streda enters the fixture carrying a 1:0 aggregate lead from the first leg, secured through a successfully converted penalty kick.

To reach this stage, the Mostar club navigated the first qualifying round by overcoming Moldovan side Milsami Orhei via a 1:1 home draw followed by a 1:0 away victory. Should Dunajská Streda protect its lead and advance to the third qualifying round, the club will face the loser of the Europa League tie between Twente Enschede and Ferencváros Budapest.

GKS Katovice Versus MŠK Žilina

Later in the evening, MŠK Žilina takes to the pitch in Poland against Aktuality. The team from beneath Dubňom earned a 2:1 home victory in the opening leg after overturning an early deficit.

The fixture marks Žilina’s second European encounter against Polish opposition at this stage of the competition; the club was eliminated in the same round last season by Raków Częstochowa. If Žilina successfully defends its advantage in Poland, the squad will face the winner of the pairing between Hapoel Tel Aviv and PFC Ludogorec Razgrad in the next round.

Television and Live Streaming Coverage

Because the two matches overlap in schedule, Slovenská televízia a rozhlas (STVR) will split its broadcast across two distinct television channels. The network’s coverage begins at 18:55 h with the Mostar and Dunajská Streda encounter on the Aktuality channel. The Katovice and Žilina match follows at 20:20 h on STVR Šport.

For viewers watching away from traditional television sets, the public broadcaster provides free simultaneous live streams of both games on its official website, stvr.sk. Digital broadcasts are subject to geographic restrictions and remain accessible exclusively from within Slovak territory.
