In my opinion, Slovakia has a really good chance to make at least one point in today’s match.
Both teams came to this game in totally different moods. Slovakia won opening game against Belgium and for sure, their confidence is on the highest possible level. On the other hand, Ukraine recorded a very painful loss 0:3 against Romania.
The Slovakian situation is very comfortable and they playing without any pressure now. For Ukraine, this is a 'must win’ game, and they are under huge pressure. It’s not easy to handle.
Slovakia in the first game showed good stability at the back as they kept a clean sheet against strong Belgium, but for me, this is not a huge surprise. Dubravka is an experienced goalkeeper from the Premier League, and central defender Skriniar is the team's best player and captain. That was third consecutive clean sheet for Slovakia. The defensive formation has momentum, and they want to continue to play well at the back in today’s match.
On the other hand, Ukraine currently have problems with goalscoring - they failed to score against Germany in Friendly game, they failed to score against Poland in Friendly game and they failed to score against Romania in opening match of the tournament. In that game, Ukraine had only 0.75 expected goals scored. For me, the Slovakian defensive formation is much more stable in comparison to Romania, so today I expect problems for Ukraine with goalscoring again.
Slovakia will sit deep at the back, exactly the same as in the match against Belgium, and they will wait for chances from a counterattack. I don’t trust for Ukrainian defensive formation, they conceded 3 goals against Poland, 3 goals against Romania, so Slovakia should have some chances to score as well.
I really don’t see Ukraine as such a big fav here.
在我看来,斯洛伐克很有机会在今天的比赛中至少拿到一分。
两支球队以完全不同的心情来参加这场比赛。斯洛伐克赢得了对比利时的首场比赛,毫无疑问,他们的信心达到了最高水平。另一方面,乌克兰以0比3惨败罗马尼亚。
斯洛伐克的情况很好,他们现在踢得没有任何压力。对乌克兰来说,这是一场“必须赢”的比赛,他们承受着巨大的压力。这可不容易处理。
斯洛伐克在第一场比赛中表现出了良好的后防线稳定性,他们在对阵强大的比利时时保持了零封,但对我来说,这并不是一个巨大的惊喜。杜布拉夫卡是一名来自英超联赛的经验丰富的门将,中卫斯克里尼亚尔是球队最好的球员和队长。这是斯洛伐克连续第三次零封对手。防守阵型很有动力,他们希望在今天的比赛中继续发挥出色。
另一方面,乌克兰目前在进球方面存在问题——他们在友谊赛中对德国没能进球,在友谊赛中对波兰没能进球,在揭幕战中对罗马尼亚也没能进球。在那场比赛中,乌克兰只有0.75个预期进球。对我来说,斯洛伐克的防守阵型比罗马尼亚稳定得多,所以今天我预计乌克兰在进球方面会再次遇到问题。
斯洛伐克将像对阵比利时的比赛一样,坐在后腰深处,等待反击的机会。我不相信乌克兰的防守阵型,他们对波兰丢了3个球,对罗马尼亚丢了3个球,所以斯洛伐克也应该有机会得分。
我真的不认为乌克兰是这里的大热门。
