Slovakia vs Wales Prediction & Betting tips
In Group E, Slovakia and Wales compete against each other. Both teams still have the prospect of participating in the final round of next year.
Slovakia:
In the previous international block, in September, the Slovaks won once and also suffered a defeat. After the big 0-4 win against Croatia, an important victory was credited three days later. Hungary was defeated with 1-2. If we assume that Croatia has the strongest team in this group, then Slovakia is one of the countries that compete for second place. With nine points out of five duels, the Central Europeans are not in bad shape.
For years, Marek Hamsik was the absolute eye-catcher of the Slovakia, but at the moment there are several skilled players available as coach Pavel Hapal. Milan Skriniar (Inter Milan), Stanislav Lobotka (Celta de Vigo) and Ondrej Duda (Hertha BSC) are players with whom something is really possible. Hamsik is nowadays under contract with the Chinese Dalian Yifang. Albert Rusnak (former Cambuur and -FC Groningen, nowadays Real Salt Lake) is also present.
Wales:
The Wales national team was one of the positive surprises at the previous European Championship, with a nice place in the semi-final, after a 3-1 win in the quarter-final against Belgium. It will of course not be easy to match that performance. In the first place, the British have to qualify for the 2020 final round. With six points from four duels, the Welshmen are in reasonable shape. What applies to Slovakia also applies to Wales: people will have to compete for second place in the group.
What Hamsik is for Slovakia is, without a doubt, Gareth Bale for Wales: the star player the opponents are watching. There has been a breakthrough of talents in recent years. Some may be a bit too young to have an immediate impact at the highest level. But Daniel James (Manchester United), Rabbi Matondo (Schalke 04) and Ethan Ampadu (RB Leipzig) will normally develop even further, making them of value to the national team.
