Slovakia Betting Preview

Slovakia faced off against Belgium in the first game of the Euro 2024 tournament and they were able to secure the 1-0 victory. Ivan Schranz scored in the 7th minute and then the defense really stepped up the rest of the game. Slovakia had 39 percent of the possession and four shots on target, but the defense didn’t give up a goal. Slovakia sure looked impressive in the first game and it would be a bit shocking if they decided to make any changes. Milan Skriniar is going to be the starting captain in this game and they are going to need him to be good here. 

Ukraine Betting Preview

Ukraine faced off against Romania in the first game and it didn’t go well. Ukraine’s defense gave up three goals and thier offense couldn’t managed any goals, and they ended up losing. Ukraine had 72 percent of the possession and two shots on target, but zero goals. Vitaliy Mykolenko suffered a foot injury during warmups before Moldova and it’s nuclear his status for this game. If he can’t go, that is going to be a big loss for this team. Ruslan Malinovskyi is also someone that could end up moving into the starting up here. In this game, Ukraine is going to need to get the offense out to  fast start. They can’t continue to get low scoring quality chances and expect to come away with a win. 

Slovakia vs Ukraine Prediction

Ukraine’s defense really struggled in the last game and it’s going to continue to be the issue again here. Ukraine also managed only two shots on target in the last game and that is going to continue to be a problem again here. Look for Slovakia to score a couple of goals and Ukraine is going to struggle to keep up. This is going to be a comfortable victory. Back Slovakia on the money line to cash.
