Sweden vs Slovakia Prediction & Betting Tips (16 November)

After being relegated to League C during the last edition of the Nations League, Sweden failed to qualify for the Euro and is going through a period of crisis. Despite the presence of very good players, a friendly session this year was not very glorious, including defeats mid-year against Denmark and Serbia. Fortunately and logically, this League C is quite quiet for them with 3 successes with 3 goals scored each time against Azerbaijan, Estonia and Sweden, and a draw in the first leg against Slovakia 2-2. This allows them to be ahead of the latter in goal average before this decisive meeting. Conversely, the Slovaks were already in League C during the last edition, and had qualified for the Euro in a group more affordable than their opponents certainly.

Thanks to a prestigious success against Belgium during J1, this selection reached the 1/8th despite two disappointing results in their group, and finally lost against England in extra time. They continue their interesting momentum by doing the same as their opponent of the day with 3 successes, and a draw, but a worse goal average. Obligatory victory therefore if they want to get ahead. 

On the Swedish side, there are no injuries, only a few choices which question in particular the non-selection of Elanga (Nottingham), Larsson (Frankfurt), Cajuste (Ipswich) or even Olsen (Villa) , Krafth (Newcastle) and Augustinsson (Anderlecht) in the defensive sector. On the other hand, the star attackers of the team Isak (Newcastle, 48 sel, 14 goals), the top scorer in Europe Gyokeres (Sporting, 24 sel, 10 goals), the fiery Strasbourg Nanasi (5 sel, 3 goals) and the talented Kulusevski (Tottenham, 43 caps, 3 goals). If the experienced Forsberg and Lindelof are still there, the defensive sector raises questions. Injured, the important and experienced Dubravka (Newcastle), Kucka (Slovan) and Schranz (Slavia Prague) are injured and will miss this gathering.

On the other hand, Milan Škriniar (captain, PSG) is the star of this team even if things are not going very well with the club from the French capital. Dávid Hancko always shines with Feyenoord and his selection, while Stanislav Lobotka (Napoli) and Ondrej Duda (Hellas Verona) are also among the stars and key players of the selection and their respective formations.
