Slovakia hosts Wales in round 7 of the Euro qualification. The match will be played on Thursday, October 10th at City Arena Trnava (Trnava)
Taking into account the fact that the Slovaks play at home, they are considered favorites of the upcoming match, but with a rather modest advantage. And bookmakers have something to fear. After losing to the Czechs in the League of Nations, head coach Kozak was fired and Hapal was appointed. The latter continued to fail in the tournament, having relegated with the team to Division D. As for the current qualification, things are going relatively well so far. 9 points after five rounds and 2nd place in the group, but it has to be shared with Hungary beaten by the Slovaks in its field in the last match.

Wales has played one game less than its competitors have, and it takes 4th place with six points now, but victory in the upcoming game will immediately raise it to the second one. The Welsh have already beaten Slovakia in their field (1-0). As for away games, Wales does not shine - it lost in Hungary and Croatia. Nevertheless, we shouldn’t discard the Dragons. They fought with the Croats fiercely, and if Lawrence didn’t score an own goal, it is not known how else the matter would end. The same situation was with Hungarians. The Magyars scored the only goal in the game only in the 80th minute.
Group E is probably the most confusing. As many as four teams claim two tickets. The Croats have 10 points, the Slovaks and the Hungarians have 9 points each, and the Welshman has six and the match in reserve. Based on this, it is strategically important for Slovakia to take all 3 points in the home game with Wales. First, the Slovaks lost the first match. Secondly, they beat Hungarians away and if the points are equal, they will have an advantage over them. Slovakia is also better in terms of the goals. We will see whether Slovakia will beat Wales or not. But it will attack for sure. So, free zones in its half of the field will also open from time to time. And here is Bale... With his sprinting speed, just give the ball to his feet, and he will run away from anyone. And he can solve the episode itself, as well as give a perfect pass to his partner. And it means that Wales will probably manage to score a goal. Slovaks are weak in defense. Seven goals were conceded in 5 rounds. In their last 15 matches, they kept a clean sheet only twice. Moreover, Slovakia conceded from Wales in all four head-to-head matches.
Prediction for the match: Wales to score over 0.5 goals
