Slovakia
In the last round, Slovakia secured a 2-0 victory at home against Belarus. This win extended their unbeaten run in the Nations League to four matches (2 wins, 2 draws). Slovakia has shown strong defensive performances, conceding only one goal in their last four matches. They currently lead Group 1 with 8 points and are well-positioned to secure promotion to League B.
- The team has not lost in regular time in their last five home matches in the Nations League (3 wins, 2 draws).
- Slovakia has not conceded more than one goal in 90 minutes in their last seven home games in this tournament.
- The number "0" has appeared in the scoreline at the end of regular time in 4 of Slovakia's last 6 home matches in the Nations League.
Estonia
Estonia suffered a 0-1 defeat at home to Azerbaijan in the last round. As a result, Estonia's winless streak in the Nations League extended to five matches (2 draws, 3 losses). The team has struggled offensively, scoring only two goals in this tournament. Estonia remains at the bottom of Group 1 with 2 points, and their chances of avoiding relegation to League D are slim.
- The team has not won in regular time in their last five away matches in the Nations League (2 draws, 3 losses).
- No more than two goals have been scored in 90 minutes in 6 of Estonia's last 8 away games in this tournament.
- At least one of the opponents failed to score in regular time in 5 of Estonia's last 8 away matches in the Nations League.
Slovakia vs. Estonia: Match Prediction
Slovakia has demonstrated solid defensive play, especially at home, and will be looking to capitalize on Estonia's offensive struggles. With a strong chance to secure promotion, Slovakia is expected to maintain their form and secure a win. Meanwhile, Estonia's difficulties in scoring and securing points away from home will likely continue.
Considering all factors, my prediction: Slovakia to win
