Sweden vs Slovakia – Prediction
"Three Crowns" won their group at Euro 2020 and once again reached the knockout stage. However, they then experienced a sharp decline and missed two consecutive tournaments. In 2023, Sweden fell hopelessly behind Austria and Belgium in the qualifiers. Meanwhile, Slovakia confidently secured 22 points and returned to the tournament after a break. At Euro, they began with a win over Belgium, and in the knockout stage, they were unfortunately eliminated by England, with Bellingham equalizing in stoppage time and Kane scoring in extra time.
In the autumn, under Kalcana's leadership, the team also showed excellent form. However, they couldn’t secure a victory over Sweden at home, finishing 2-2. They won the other matches: 1-0 against Estonia, 2-0 at home against Azerbaijan, and 3-1 in Baku last month.
To break out of their prolonged slump, Sweden appointed Tomasson, who had gained recognition with Malmö. After some unsuccessful friendlies, he has shown excellent results in the Nations League, earning nine points in matches against Estonia and Azerbaijan. They also secured a draw in Bratislava.
