Slovakia vs Germany Preview and Team News
Slovakia Team News
Slovakia have a long list of injured players and will need to shuffle their squad to give others a chance. Denis Vavro, Dominik Javorcek, Matus Bero, Samuel Kozlovsky, Samuel Mraz, and Tomas Suslov have all been ruled out.
The team have had a torrid run of form coming into this clash, as they’ve lost their last three matches. What’s worse is that they’ve scored just one goal in those encounters, while conceding six.
In their most recent outing, a 0-1 loss to Israel, the Slovaks lined up in a 3-4-3 formation but somehow managed to leave huge gaps in their midfield. This allowed their opponents to dominate proceedings and dictate the rhythm and speed of the game. Although the first half remained goalless, Israel struck early in the second half and effectively killed the contest.
Slovakia predicted lineup vs Germany (3-4-3): Rodak; Satka, Skriniar, Gyomber; Hancko, Duda, Hrosovsky, Kmet; Tupta, Bozenik, Schranz.
Germany Team News
Germany, ranked ninth by FIFA, enter this game with a nearly full-strength squad, missing only senior goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen. Just like their opponents, their recent form has been underwhelming, with just one win in their last five matches, two losses, and two draws.
In their latest clash, a 0-2 loss to France in the Bronze final of the UEFA Nations League in June, Germany had 56% of the ball but couldn’t make much of it in the final third. They also produced a rather impressive xG of 2.48, but were unable to score even one goal.
This was increasingly painful for the Germans, as they took 20 shots, six of which were on target, and three were pretty big chances. Their passing accuracy stood at 90%, which is above the average of most teams in such tight-knit and closely fought contests.
Against Slovakia, Germany will hope that the statistics back their performances up and give them a good head start on the way to the World Cup.
Germany predicted lineup vs Slovakia (4-2-3-1): Nubel; Raum, Tah, Koch, Kimmich; Gross, Goretzka; Wirtz, Woltemade, Adeyemi; Fullkrug.
Slovakia vs Germany Prediction
- Pick: Germany to win
- Odds: -222 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Slovakia 0-3 Germany
Germany are the clear favourites in this matchup, and we expect them to win comfortably. The visiting side have a lot of experienced players in their ranks, and manager Julian Nagelsmann is known to rotate his squad in such a way that even the youngsters get enough opportunities to showcase their wares.
For Slovakia, a lot will be on the line in this fixture, and they’ll fight hard to keep Nagelsmann’s men from dominating proceedings in the final third. Their best hope will be to play with a high defensive line to lure the German attackers into an offside trap. However, the likes of Wirtz, Fullkrug, and Woltemade can be very hard to handle inside the box.
Slovakia vs Germany Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: First half total – over one goal
- Odds: -159 (20Bet)
We expect to see more than one goal in the first half of this match. Germany, quite naturally, will be the side favored to do most of the scoring here, although Slovakia are no pushovers either. The hosts, ranked 52nd by FIFA, tend to involve their wings and use a lot of wide play to attack their opponents’ goalposts. Moreover, when in possession, two of their wide midfielders join the attackers to add more bulk inside their opponents’ box.
Germany, on the other hand, use a mixture of man-marking and zonal-marking tactics and can quite comfortably prevent Slovakia’s attacks from gaining fruition. Moreover, the visitors are quick on the break and are known to create smooth transitions. They should be the dominant scorers here.
