Prediction OFK Slovenská Ľupča vs MSK Tesla Stropkov 2025/2026 – Betting Tips for the Slovakia Cup on 10/09/2025

Preview and recent form

A Slovakia Cup second-round clash on 10/09/2025 sees OFK Slovenská Ľupča welcome MSK Tesla Stropkov in what shapes up as a classic David-vs-Goliath cup tie — at least on recent form. OFK Slovenská Ľupča arrive with a rocky run of results, their latest string reading L-L-L-W-L and a worrying 0-5 reversal against Hamsik Academy in July 2024 among their recent cup outings. That heavy defeat and a pattern of losses suggest a side struggling for consistency and defensive solidity.

MSK Tesla Stropkov, by contrast, come into this fixture carrying momentum from competitive league action. Their most recent outing was a 2-1 victory away at Snina on 07/09/2025 in the 3. Liga - East, and their form across late summer shows several winning performances: a 3-1 win at Slovan Sabinov and a 2-1 success over Kežmarok, balanced by a narrow 0-1 reverse to Humenné and a 2-2 draw with Medzev. The Tesla Stropkov side’s results indicate a team capable of scoring and closing out matches away from home, and they arrive with a clear confidence edge over their cup opponents.

Tactical edge and psychological factors

Cup football often offers surprises, but the psychological landscape here leans toward the visitors. OFK Slovenská Ľupča’s solitary recent win is offset by multiple defeats that include heavy scorelines, which can sap belief when a knockout fixture arrives. MSK Tesla Stropkov’s steady stream of wins in the weeks preceding this cup tie should translate into higher confidence and sharper match rhythm. The away side’s ability to nick narrow wins and produce multi-goal performances at times suggests they can adapt to cup pressure and the unpredictability that comes with it.

The tie’s outcome will likely hinge on Tesla Stropkov’s attacking efficiency versus OFK Slovenská Ľupča’s fragile defensive record. Given the available match reports and form lines, the visitors possess the clearer route to victory: they are the in-form side, playing regular competitive football in the 3. Liga - East and arriving having scored in several recent matches, while the home team has struggled to keep opponents at bay.

Betting suggestion: take MSK Tesla Stropkov to win (away win, 1X2 market). The recent winning pattern for Tesla Stropkov and OFK Slovenská Ľupča’s run of losses point strongly to an away victory as the most likely single-market outcome. Keep stakes moderate to reflect cup unpredictability.
