Slovenia vs Poland Prediction & Betting tips
In these days, the halftime will be reached in the European Championship qualification. The first tendencies are now clearly visible. In the Austria Group G, the top favorite in Poland is marching in the direction of the EM Ticket.
The German neighbor has a bright white vest and wants to defend it on Friday evening. There is an away game on the program. In Ljubljana there is a duel between Slovenia and Poland.
While the Poles hold at the maximum of twelve points after four games, Slovenia has collected five points in the first four games. Currently, this only means fourth place in the group of six. You have to win in the fight for the top two places. Accordingly, the pressure on the shoulders of the team of head coach Matjaz Kek is great.
The bookmakers rate Slovenia against Poland according to current quotas not even as a blatant outsider. The game starts on Friday at 19:45.
Slovenia:
In 2010, Slovenia was represented for the last time at a major football event, at the World Cup, however, the team had to go home already after the preliminary round. Head coach of the Slovenian national football team was then Matjaz Kek. And Matjaz Kek will also be coaching his home country on Friday evening against Poland.
In November 2018 began his second term as head coach, after the Slovenian team in the UEFA Nations League downright disappointed. In the Liga C Slovenia had to accept the relegation. In a group with Norway, Bulgaria and Cyprus the team did not manage a single victory.
In view of these figures, the current European Championship qualification can already be regarded as progress. In the last international match there was finally again the feeling of a victory for the Kek protégés. Underdog Latvia beat Slovenia 5: 0.
After two draws and a defeat by Austria, this was their first full success in qualifying. The mini-chance of the second EM participation – after 2000 – remains intact. The big star of the Slovenes is undoubtedly goalkeeper Jan Oblak.
But with Josip Ilicic or Jasmin Kurtic there are two other strong players. As a team, however, the Slovenes lack quality in their breadth. The clear victory against Latvia, however, should not be overstated. The Eastern Europeans are currently certainly one of the weakest European football teams.
However, the bookmakers are quite impressed, because we can not really understand the fact that Slovenia and Poland are offered such low odds for their prediction of home victory.
Poland:
The Polish national football team has been presenting itself at the highest level for many years. Poland has always been represented in the last three World and three European Championships. In the FIFA World Ranking, head coach Jerzy Brzeczek’s team has been in the lead group for years.
As a group head, Poland had also been assigned the role of favorite in the current qualification. And so far, the German neighbor can perform this role in an impressive way. Not only were there four wins for the team around world-class striker Robert Lewandowski, but the defensive did not take a single goal.
In this regard, on Friday between Slovenia and Poland could recommend the tip that both teams will not meet. Despite an outstanding offensive – in addition to Lewandowski there are two other international top strikers – Arkadiusz Milik and Krysztof Piatek – peat festivals are the exception rather than the rule.
Father of success in recent years was an outstanding defensive. With the knowledge that players like Lewandowski can score from half a chance, very little risk is taken. This style of play is not always attractive, but Poland has been proving the success for years.
However, on Friday in Slovenia Poland will have to do without one of the three top strikers. Naples legionnaire Arkadiusz Milik has had to cancel his trip to the national team due to muscle problems in the adductor area.
In the 4-4-2 system of the Poles, however, the bank would have threatened him anyway. Piatek is currently the top scorer in qualifying with four goals and will storm alongside Robert Lewandowski.
