The Scottish ran up performance in the last days. He has made 4 games unbeaten and won 3 wins and 1 draw, so he will try to conquer 3 more points to stay in the fight for a place in the next World Cup. The attack has been good, having scored 14 goals, being the best attack of Group F, while the defense suffered 10 goals and is only the fourth most solid among the six selections of the group. But it is important to note that he has not conceded goals in 3 of the last 4 matches. Playing in their stadium, as in next Thursday’s game, Scotland are unbeaten 4 games ago, having averages of 2 goals scored and 1 suffered per game, which shows that it is a difficult team to face when playing in their stadium. For the match against Slovakia, coach Gordon Strachan has the team in full force, as he will not be absent due to injuries or suspensions.
Slovakia:
The visiting team is currently in 2nd place, with 15 points won, after 5 wins and 3 losses. In the penultimate game, won at home against Slovenia by (1-0). In the last game, lost out against England by (2-1). In the last 4 games he played as a visitor to the World Classification Europe, Slovakia won 2 and lost 2. His attack has scored regularly, as he scored goals in 6 of the last 8 matches for this competition. In their home games there is a tendency to have goals, since 10 of their last 12 matches have ended with over 2.5 goals. This is a team that usually scores many times first: opened the scoring in 6 of his last 8 matches for the World Classification Europe, of these 6 reached the break in lead in 4 and managed to maintain the advantage until the end of the 90 ‘in 5. In the last 12 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period in the spotlight: he scored 8 of his 19 goals in the minutes (31’-45 ‘).
Slovakia are among the top-ranked in Group C but have seen their 5-match series be interrupted on the final day and will now try to recover, as the third and fourth ranked are just 1 away in the standings classification. The good campaign that the team has made can be explained by the good performance of their offensive sector, having scored 14 goals, being the best attack of Group F, and scored goals in all their last 6 games. When playing away from home, as in this Thursday’s game, Slovakia is usually a little irregular, as it has alternated between wins and losses and its defense needs to improve when it plays in the visiting condition, as it suffered goals on 12 the last 13 away games. For this match against Scotland, coach Kozák will have no absences and should repeat the starting lineup of the game against England, in the last day, featuring midfielder Hamsik, the star of Naples.
