Slovakia faces Spain in round 3 of the Euro group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, June 23rd at Estadio de La Cartuja (Sevilla)
The Slovaks are approaching the last round of the Euro 2021 group stage with three points scored, which corresponds to the second place in the group. A draw in the upcoming match guarantees the team a place in the knockout rounds, and it even has a chance to progress from third place. Let’s recall that Slovakia defeated Poland in the first round (2-1), but the second game ended in a defeat to Sweden, and the Falcons conceded the only goal from the penalty spot in the 77th minute. Slovakia has turned from an outsider of the group to a real contender for the knockout rounds. Two players will not help the national team in the upcoming game for different reasons.

Even before the EURO, Luis Enrique was criticized for the chosen squad and the absence of players from Real Madrid. Now the coach of the Spaniards is in danger of being torn apart by the press, because the team looks very sluggish. The Red Fury could not win the previous two matches, although it had a significant advantage over its opponents. At first, the Spaniards didn’t manage to breach the defense of the Swedes (0-0). The next insurmountable barrier was the Poles (1-1), and the Spaniards managed not to convert the penalty. Considering that all the matches were played in Seville, the situation is very bad. Only a victory guarantees advancement to the knockout rounds.
The teams played against each other six times. The Spaniards won in four cases, once a draw was recorded, and the Slovaks gained one victory. The last time the opponents crossed paths was in the qualification for Euro 2016. Then the teams exchanged home victories. Now the Spaniards will be satisfied only with a victory, because a draw may become a disaster for the Red Fury. Yes, Spain has a stronger squad and will play in front of native fans, but there are certain doubts about the team's success even in such conditions. Slovakia can offer decent resistance, so we consider a bet on Over 2.5 goals scored to be promising.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
