Slovakia take on the visitors Chile in a friendly international match. The match will be played on Sunday, November 20th.
Slovakia was not bad in the last decade. It all started with the debut for the “repres” of the World Championship, when Weiss's wards were able to get into the playoffs in 2010. Then there were 2 participations in the Euro, and at the tournament in France in 2016, the Slovaks played in the 1/8 finals, and last summer they started with a victory over Poland. But then there was a frankly mediocre qualification for the World Cup, when the Croats and Russians were able to maintain a gap, while Slovakia was focused on a dispute with Slovenia for 3rd place. And in the Nations League 022, the team turned out to be stronger only than Belarus, with which there was also a home draw. We exchanged victories with Azerbaijan, and lost both meetings to Kazakhstan. This cycle started well, with an away game against Montenegro. But now there will be a more status opponent.

Chile national team until the last claimed for the ticket to the World Cup. But not on sports principles: it was La Roja that initiated the attempt to disqualify Ecuador. There were formal reasons, the “tricolor” really played a football player who was naturalized according to forged documents. But in the end, sports arbitration decided not to change the list of participants in the tournament in Qatar. And the Chileans can only blame themselves, because they had a frankly weak qualifying tournament, and quite rightly remained at the bottom of the final standings (only 19 points in 18 rounds). Moreover, it is not entirely clear what was the logic of the football officials of this particular country that it finished as much as 7th - if someone would add within the framework of the CONMEBOL qualification, it would be Peru and Colombia, who occupied positions higher than Alexis Sanchez and company? It is noteworthy that Berizzo, the mentor, retained his post, and the main clip of the players remains in the application. But now, too, it all started with a defeat. Although in Warsaw, visiting the Poles, it was almost possible to keep the clean sheet: Pentek scored the only goal in the 85th minute.
Unexpectedly, but this is not the first duel between representatives of different continents. In 2009, they already crossed, of course, also in a friendly way, and 2-1 in favor of Chile. Bookmakers consider Slovakia to be the favorite of this confrontation, which plays at home. But still, we will make sure, using the handicap "0".
Prediction for the match: Slovakia to win with 0.0 handicap.
