Slovakia vs Spain predictions for this UEFA EURO 2020 clash on Wednesday at Estadio de La Cartuja. The Spaniards are in danger of being knocked out in the last round of the group stage and face a Slovakia side that would need a draw to progress to the next round. Read on for our free predictions and betting tips.
Slovakia
The Slovaks, who initially started as the weakest team in the group, go into the third match with three points. A single point would be enough to go through as runners-up or as one of the best third-placed teams in all the groups.
In their second match, the Slovaks lost 1-0 against Sueca, putting in a rather poor performance, especially in attack.
Out of a total of six meetings with the Spanish, the Slovaks have won only once.
Spain
The Spaniards go into the third match knowing that a defeat in this match will knock them out of the Euros.
Spanish fans have been widely criticising the performance of their national team. There has been growing discontent, as following their recent style of play and poor results over the last few games, mean many are not confident of seeing Spain reaching the quarter finals.
The most criticism have been levied against Álvaro Morata, as he has wasted many opportunities to score, and against Luis Enrique, the Spanish coach.
Key Stats
Slovakia vs Spain Predictions
The match is like a final for the Spaniards; a defeat knocks them out of the competition whilst a draw might just qualify them as one of the best third place teams. But going for a draw is too risky and given how important this match is we think that the Spaniards will play very offensively this match and will scrape a win over Slovakia, who certainly know how to defend but lack the skills in attack.
Spain have been struggling to score in recent matches and it can be difficult to break through the Slovakian defensive wall so we think this match can have less than 1.5 total goals.
