On Sunday afternoon, Slovakia and Scotland on the back of qualifying for Euro 2021 meet in Group B2 of the Nations League.
Slovakia made it through to the European Championships by recording a 2-1 extra-time win over Northern Ireland on Thursday night. The win was much-needed, as the home side had failed to win any of their previous five international matches.
The recent poor run of form included a 1-0 home loss in the reverse fixture and also a 3-2 home defeat by Israel in Group B2.
Those poor results mean that Slovakia have failed to win any of their four games in the current edition of the Nations League, picking up just one point in the process.
The home team has won just once in their eight games in the fledgeling competition, suffering six defeats in the process, including losing four of their previous five matches.
A poor defensive record has plagued Slovakia on home soil in this competition, as they have conceded at least two goals in three of their four home matches.
Scotland booked their place at Euro 2021 on Thursday night by beating Serbia on penalty kicks after a 1-1 draw in normal and extra-time. The win saw the visitors qualify for their first major international tournament since World Cup ’98.
The result continued a good recent run of form for Steve Clarke’s team, as Scotland are now unbeaten in their previous nine international games. They have also won six of those unbeaten games in 90 minutes.
The visitors have a good recent record in the Nations League, as they are unbeaten in six games, having recorded five wins. A victory in this clash will see Scotland win the group.
Forebet predicts that Scotland’s good form will continue in this game with the visitors grabbing a victory in a high-scoring encounter.
