Slovakia v Czech Republic Preview and Prediction

Date/Time: Saturday 13^th October 2018 (Kick-off 2 PM)

On Saturday afternoon, neighbours Slovakia and Czech Republic go head-to-head in the Nations League, as the pair attempt to make up ground on Group one leaders Ukraine.

Both teams kicked off their campaigns in the newly established Nations League by suffering defeats against Ukraine, as the home side suffered a 1-0 defeat, while the Czech’s suffered a 2-1 loss at the hands of the group leaders.

Slovakia now heads into this clash on a run of just one win in their last four international outings. The one win came in a friendly against Denmark when the Danes had to field a team of amateurs due to a dispute over image rights.

The home side’s recent games have been relatively high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in four of their last six matches. The home side heads into this clash seven games unbeaten on home soil, having recorded six wins in the process.

The visitors have been inconsistent on the road late, as they have won two and lost three of their last five away games.
