On June 14, as part of the first round of the Euro 2020 group stage in St. Petersburg, the players of the national teams of Poland and Slovakia will come face to face at the Gazprom Arena. Which side will win this match?
Poland
The Polish national team, without much effort, was able to get a ticket to the European Football Championship, winning their group. In ten qualifying matches, the team managed to get eight wins, with one draw and one fiasco. In the League of Nations, Kadra performed somewhat more modestly, but there were opponents of the highest level. In the same company with Italy, the Netherlands and Bosnia, the Poles were able to get 7 points, becoming third in the A-League and retaining their registration in the division. As part of the qualifying cycle for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Poland is still not performing in the best way, having four points after three meetings.
Slovakia
The national team of Slovakia was able to qualify for the European Championship only through a special quota of the League of Nations. As part of the 2-round confrontation, the "tricolor" were able to win a ticket to the final part of the tournament, having coped with Ireland and Northern Ireland in turn. Along the way, the Falcons played in the second draw of the Nations League, which they justified by 100%, taking the last place in the quartet with the Czech Republic, Scotland and Israel, being relegated to Division C. It is worth noting the fact that the team of Tarkovic started unsuccessfully in qualifying for the 2022 World Cup. The team of today's guests started with draws in the matches against Cyprus and Malta, but managed to beat Russia (2:1) at home.
Statistics and figures:
- Poland is the favorite in the upcoming match;
- Poland has a 3-match winless streak;
- Slovakia has a 5-match unbeaten streak;
- In the last face-to-face meeting, the Slovaks won with a score of 2: 0;
- Poland managed to win only once in 5 meetings against Slovakia.
Forecast
In the past, the Polish national team did not play in the best way against the Slovaks, but now times have changed, and there has been a generational change in the camp of the Polish national team. This team has acquired a number of talented players who are the stars of world football. We are betting on the "red-white" team in this match, taking into account the peculiarities of the lineups of both teams.
