The European U21 championship can start! On the 1st day of the tournament, the hosts, Slovakia, will take on Spain. In this game, I predict Spain's win.

As Slovakia hosts this tournament, they didn't have to play in the qualifier. This year, Slovakia has played two friendly games, but they lost both times. In March, Slovakia played against Germany and lost 0:1, but a much bigger loss was three days later when they were beaten by France 3:0. If we include two more games, Slovakia has 1 draw and 3 losses in the last 4 games. It's only the 3rd time for Slovakia to compete in this tournament, and their last experience wasn't the best as they didn't get out of the group. It will be a tough task to get out of the group this year as well because their opponents are also Italy and Romania.

Spain is one of the tournament favorites. During the qualification, Spain was a dominant force with 9 wins and 1 draw in 10 games, a total of 28 goals scored and only 5 conceded. Their only draw was on the road against Belgium, where Spain dominated and had 9 more shots in total. Spain has lost the last two friendly games before this tournament, but they have 6 wins and 2 draws in the last 8 games of this competition.

I'm going with Spain in this duel. They are by far the best team in this game, and Slovakia is only competing here because they are the hosts. If we look at Transfermarkt data, Slovakia's total value is set at 19.28 million euros, while Spain is valued at 262 million euros. It's a big difference, and Spain played in the final 2 years ago. Spain should start the tournament with a comfortable and big win.

欧洲U21锦标赛可以开始了！在比赛的第一天，东道主斯洛伐克将迎战西班牙队。在这场比赛中，我预测西班牙会赢。

作为本届杯赛的东道主，斯洛伐克不需要参加预选赛。今年，斯洛伐克打了两场友谊赛，但他们都输了。今年3月，斯洛伐克与德国的比赛以0:1输掉了比赛，但三天后，他们以3:0被法国击败，输得更惨。如果再加上两场比赛，斯洛伐克在过去的4场比赛中取得了1平3负的成绩。这是斯洛伐克第三次参加这项赛事，他们上一次的经历并不是最好的，因为他们没有从小组中出局。今年从小组出线将是一项艰巨的任务，因为他们的对手还有意大利和罗马尼亚。

西班牙队是本届杯赛的热门球队之一。在预选赛期间，西班牙在10场比赛中9胜1平，共进28球，只丢5球，是一支统治力。他们唯一的平局是在客场对阵比利时的比赛中，西班牙占据了主导地位，总共有9次射门。西班牙队在本届杯赛之前输掉了最后两场友谊赛，但他们在本届杯赛的最后8场比赛中取得了6胜2平的成绩。

在这场决斗中，我支持西班牙。到目前为止，他们是这场比赛中最好的球队，斯洛伐克参加比赛只是因为他们是东道主。如果我们看一下Transfermarkt的数据，斯洛伐克的总价值为1928万欧元，而西班牙的总价值为2.62亿欧元。这是一个很大的区别，西班牙两年前就进入了决赛。西班牙队应该以一场轻松的大胜开始比赛。
