The Euro 2020 Qualifier kicks off today again with a lot of matches and options to bet on, but the game I'm gonn' be looking into is that of Wales vs Slovakia. This is a match in the Group E fixture, where the both teams have to win in other to cement a safe passage to the Euro 2020 competition next year. The Welsh team will have to display an impressive performance today if at all they want to beat the guest, Slovakia. The guest, Slovakia are currently on top of the table log with 3 points, after winning their first match 2-0 against Hungary. Therefore, coach Ryan Giggs knows how extremely difficult this match is going to be and also he understands that the two most difficult opponent with them in the Group are Slovakia and Croatia, so this will be a very important game that requires Wales to play to with their fullest potential if they want to get a ticket for the competition.
WALES
Playing against the current group leader today, the Welsh team will surely have the best psychology and fitness compared to their opponents in this match, and this is due to this game being their very first match in the EURO 2020 qualifier, and also Ryan Giggs team will be having the advantage of playing in front of their fans, which makes them even more stronger compared to the visitors. Although, the current form of the Welsh team is kinda average, in which they have lost 3 matches in all competition, including UEFA Nations League, and just 2 wins, in their last 5 recent matches. However, if they can focus fully without giving much of a chance to the guest, then it wouldn't be hard getting the maximum 3 points here, coupled with the fact that the Welsh fans are gonn' be giving them a lot of encouragement in the stands. The last time both teams met was at the Euro 2016 tournament, in which the Welsh team defeated Slovakia 2-1.
SLOVAKIA
In their previous match against Hungary, I knew the game is definitely gonn' go their way because they are simply the heavy favorite against Hungary, plus they have much of a quality players compared to Hungary. But today's game against Wales will surely be a different one unlike their first match. The Welsh team team still has one of their Biggest Star Gareth Bale in their midst, and the Slovakian team understands that their talisman can torture their defense with his speed and personal techniques. However, the Slovakian team in their previous match against Hungary shows how impressive and discipline the players can be against any opponent. So they are gonn' be marching to Cardiff City Stadium with a lot of relaxed confidence. Coach Pavel Hapal simply understand how important this game is, and he believes beat if they can manage to beat the Welsh team today, then the door to the Euro 2020 will continue to stay open for them.
PRE-MATCH FACT
- Wales have seen over 2.5 goals in their last 3 matches against Slovakia in all competitions.
- Slovakia are winless in their last seven away matches.
- Wales have managed to win their friendly match 1-0 against Trinidad and Tobago.
PREDICTION
The host Wales are the slight favorite to win this match, and 3 points is the goal that the whole team aims for and they will only achieve that if the links in the team run smoothly. On the other hand, the guest Slovakia are not just a push over team. The team has recently kick-off their EURO 2020 qualifier with a 2-0 victory over Hungary. So banking on any team to win here is definitely not gonna be a good call for me. But I'm gonna be looking at the over market as well as the Both teams score because the both teams are well known for playing an attacking football.
MY PICK
- Both Teams To Score @ Odd 2.12
- Total Goals Over 1.5 @ Odd 1.58
