Slovakia vs Sweden Prediction and Match Preview

Slovakia vs Sweden Prediction

Both Slovakia and Sweden had a winning start to this Nations League campaign. Both teams have won the opening two matches and Sweden is currently holding the top spot of group 1 followed by Slovakia.

Slovakia will be the host for Thursday’s clash and the team defeated Azerbaijan and Estonia keeping a clean sheet. They netted 3 goals in that process too.

Meanwhile, Sweden bagged two motivating wins at the start of the season. They defeated Estonia and Azerbaijan scoring 3 apiece. However, they failed to keep a clean sheet against Azerbaijan, which was an away match.

Moving on, Sweden can also rely on the head-to-head tradition as they have a 100% unbeaten record against Slovakia. However, the two meeting between them with Slovakia having the hosting advantage ended in a goalless draw. Do also note that their last meeting at this venue was in a 2013 friendly. By the looks of things, we expect a tight encounter between these two in-form teams at Tehelne Pole on Thursday.

The home form of Slovakia looks decent enough. They were unbeaten in four of the last five home outings. On the other hand, Sweden had some highly competitive away games on the road of late and has still managed to bag three unbeaten games in the past six.

Also, Sweden will enter this match following a 1-3 win against Azerbaijan against Slovakia’s latest home win, being a 2-0 victory against the same Azerbaijan side. Since both teams have an impressive competency, we expect a highly entertaining match-up here.

However, Sweden have an upper hand in all the above mentioned stats and we like to back the draw no bet tip in favor of them mainly because of the h2h recordings. Moreover, the past five away matches of Sweden saw their defensive line breaching. Thus, the both teams to score tip seems to be an ideal tip to back here.
