Slovakia played a worthy European Championship and was eliminated difficultly in the round of 16. In the Nations League, they have two wins with clean sheets so far, and they also achieved such victories in their last three home matches. However, now a slightly more serious test awaits them against an opponent whom they have not defeated in their last six encounters.
Sweden is starting to wake upUnlike their opponent, Sweden missed Euro 2024 and had a decline in the team's performance. In an attempt to improve this, they recently appointed Jon Dahl Tomasson as head coach, and the former Danish striker and his team have finally started to show improvement. Sweden also won their first two matches in the Nations League with a 3-1 away victory against Azerbaijan and a 3-0 home win against Estonia. Sporting Lisbon's goal scorer Victor Gjokaj is in top form, scoring three goals in these two matches and providing two assists.
Prediction: DrawSlovakia shows that they are not an easy opponent, and now they host Sweden, who seems to be starting to wake up and show signs of improvement. Overall, I expect a closely contested match in which it will be difficult to determine a winner.
