Slovakia vs Czech Republic Prediction & Betting tips
Twenty-five years ago Slovakia and the Czech Republic took separate political and sporting paths. In terms of sporting success, the Czechs have certainly been in the lead in football since then. However, the league seems to be turning around at the moment, after all the teams have been classified in the first league of the League of Nations League B under the UEAF coefficient ranking together with the national team of Ukraine. Here, however, both the Czechs and the Slovaks lost their opening match against Ukraine, which means they already have the chasing role early on. At the same time, it is important to gain a better starting position for the remaining two games with a win, because the last of the group will eventually drop.
The better starting situation on Saturday, we expect the Slovaks, who have presented themselves especially strong in the last one and a half years home strong. In view of the recent rather mixed performances of the Czechs and the resulting change of coach in September this year, we tend for the match vs. Slovakia. Czech Republic to a safe bet on the home win.
Slovakia:
The World Cup finals narrowly missed the national team of Slovakia. After all, it was enough with a record of six wins and four defeats to the desired second place behind the clearly favored Englishman. However, the Slovaks had one point too little on the account at the end and missed as the worst runner-up team the play-offs. Of the home games during qualifying, however, only the very first was lost to the English (0: 1). The remaining four games against Scotland (3: 0), Lithuania (4: 0), Slovenia (1: 0) and Malta (3: 0) were mostly clear and without conceding lost.
This year, Slovakia played six games, including five friendly matches and the away game in the Nations League against Ukraine. The latter was lost just like the one in Morocco. While the eleven of head coach Ján Kozák would have deserved a draw in Ukraine instead of the 0-1 defeat, the 1: 2 defeat against the Moroccans in June was well earned. Of the remaining games could be won during the Kings Cup in Thailand, first against the United Arab Emirates (2: 1) and Thailand (3: 2). In the first friendly of the year in the home country against the Netherlands, the Kozák-Eleven then fought a remarkable 1-1 draw, before it was enough to Denmark to a significant 3-0 win. Although the bookmakers see Slovakia as favorites for betting against the Czech Republic.
Czech Republic:
The Czechs narrowly missed the World Cup finals, but it is to be borne in mind that the mission was almost hopeless. First place was determined from the outset for the DFB-Elf and in the fight for second place had the Irish national team in the lead. The away footage of the World Cup qualification reads quite decent, but the two victories in the teams of San Marino and Azerbaijan were a must. In Norway it was close to a point (1: 1), while the Czech team in Germany (0: 3) was hopeless. Decisive for the missed qualification was the 0-2 defeat in Northern Ireland.
So far, the Czech Republic has played six matches this season, four of which have been lost. Only against China (4: 1) and Nigeria (1-0), the games were won. Uruguay (0: 2) and Australia (0: 4, the match was played in Austria), on the other hand, were one size too big. Even the opening match in the Nations League against Ukraine was lost despite the home advantage completely deserved 1: 2. Finally, the trained at this time by Karel Jarolim Elf was inferior to the match report in almost all respects. After it set a clear 1-5 defeat in Russia, the increasingly helpless Jarolim was released as a head coach. As successor Jaroslav Silhavy is now again to provide better times.
