Slovakia out to avoid another Armenia slip-up
Slovakia will look to avenge an earlier defeat and keep Armenia out of the running in UEFA EURO 2012 qualifying Group B as Vardan Minasyan's side head for Zilina.
• Second-half goals from Gevorg Ghazaryan and Henrik Mkhitaryan secured a superb 3-1 win for Armenia when the sides met in Yerevan on 8 October. Yura Movsisyan had scored the home side's 23rd-minute opener, but Vladimír Weiss equalised before the break.
• That was the countries' first meeting at senior level.
• Armenia and Slovakia's women met in qualifying for the 2005 UEFA European Women's Championship, when Slovakia triumphed 5-0 at home on 9 September 2003 and 10-0 away three days later.
• Men's outfits from the countries have twice contested two-legged UEFA club competition ties, but while both yielded victory for the Slovakian contender, they did not win in Armenia on either occasion.
