Sweden Slovakia betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

In this confrontation between Sweden and Slovakia, we believe that the home team will be able to guarantee a positive result by having a technically stronger squad that managed to at least reach the qualifying round of the World Cup in Russia while the away team did not manage to qualify for the World Cup. In addition, looking at the history between the teams, it is possible to point out that Sweden has won all three matches between the teams so far, including a 6-0 victory in January 2017.

As for Slovakia, this is the 4th friendly match of the year, after havinf played friendly matches against Denmark, Morocco and Netherlands. The only recent head‑to‑head between these two teams was played on 12‑01‑2017, and ended in a (6‑0) win by Sweden. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, as both teams present significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Sweden

The home team plays its 6th friendly match of the year. In the previous friendly matches they registered the following final scores: Austria (2‑0) Sweden, Sweden (0‑0) Peru, Sweden (0‑0) Denmark, Romania (1‑0) Sweden and Sweden (1‑2) Chile. This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses in away matches; against 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses at their stadium. In their last match, for the UEFA Nations League, they got an away tie against Russia by (0‑0). In the last 10 home matches Sweden has won 5, tied 2 and lost 3.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 5 matches. Their offense needs to do better, since they haven’t scored goals in 4 of the last 5 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 5 of their 15 matches, and have never been able to turn the score around.

The Swedish have never managed to win a World Cup but have managed to be runner-up at least once in the distant year of 1958, when they were defeated in the final by Brazil by 5-2. At the 2018 World Cup held in Russia, the Swedish national team reached the quarterfinals when they were eliminated by England. In five of the last seven games Sweden have played, counting friendly matches and official competitions (World Cup and League of Nations), were scored more than 1.5 goals. We believe that in this clash, Sweden will not only make one more busy game, but it will conquer the victory.

Confirmed Lineup: Karl-Johan Johnsson, Emil Krafth, Martin Olsson, Pontus Jansson, Kristoffer Olsson, Jimmy Durmaz, Albin Ekdal, Sebastian Andersson, John Guidetti.
Coach: A. Granqvist, O. Hiljemark, J. Andersson.

Analysis Slovakia

The away team plays its 4th friendly match of the year. In the previous friendly matches they registered the following final scores: Slovakia (3‑0) Denmark, Morocco (2‑1) Slovakia and Slovakia (1‑1) Netherlands. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 2 draws and 9 losses in away matches, with 16 goals scored and 26 conceded; against 8 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 24 goals scored and 9 conceded. In their last match, for the UEFA Nations League, they got a home loss against Czech Republic by (1‑2). In the last 9 away matches Slovakia has won 2, tied 1 and lost 6. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In their away mathes there is a tendency for goals, since 6 of the last 9 matches have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 5 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

The Slovak national team also never managed to win the World Cup, as it gained independence recently, only in October 2009. Its first World Cup was in 2010, when it reached the knockout-stage and was eliminated by Netherlands (runner-up of the competition). Unable to qualify for the World Cup in Russia this year, the Slovak national team finished the European Championship in Group B's second position. The team suffered goals in six of the last seven games it played in official and friendly competitions. We believe that in this confrontation the Slovak national team will again suffer goals and will be defeated.

Confirmed Lineup: Martin Dúbravka, Dávid Hancko, Milan Škriniar, Martin Škrtel, Erik Sabo, Stanislav Lobotka, Albert Rusnák, Juraj Kucka, Marek Hamšík, Róbert Mak, Adam Nemec.
