A challenge between the two teams that most surprised on the first day of Euro 2020.Sweden with a masterpiece defending stopped Spain decimated from Covid-19 in a 0:0.A result that is difficult to imagine on the eve, but offensively, Sweden left something to be desired - only one shot on goal and 15% of ball possession.But in the end this is the Swedish style conditioned also from some important absences.Today manager Andersson will have at his disposal two other players - attacking midfield Kulusevski and winger Svanberg both recovered from Covid-19.More choices in a department where Sweden suffered from years. From what it looks, they will be based in the same style that stopped Spain.
Slovkia overturned the odds by beating Poland 2:1. The classification momentarily sees the Slovaks in the lead with three points.Manager Stefan Tarkovic took advantage of the tactical confusion of Poland to strike at the right moment, in an almost surgical way - first thanks to an own goal by Szczesny, then with a rebound by the defender of Inter, Skriniar.Traditionally Slovakia has been perfect mix of experience and aggressivity but this Euro 2020 they have the advantage of starting with the right foot hence a good injection of morale to go forward.The starting eleven will not differ from first match with the only defender Vavro out because of Covid-19.
Prediction:
A lot will depend from this confrontation. It seems a blocked match is expected, with the two selections that could cancel each other out.
Slovakia +0.5
