Slovakia vs Ukraine Predictions


Slovakia will take a point after winning their opener while Ukraine failed to inspire last time out. A draw offers good value.

  • Slovakia are unbeaten in 7 of their last 8 matches. 
  • Slovakia have seen BTTS in 2 of their last 3 matches against Ukraine. 
  • Ukraine are unbeaten in 7 of their last 9 matches. 

Head to Head 


Ukraine have won three of their eight games against Slovakia. There have also been three draws and two Slovakia wins.

Slovakia Form 


Slovakia caused a massive upset in the Euro 2024 opening round by defeating favored Belgium 1-0, Ivan Schranz scoring the only goal in 7th minute, the Red Devils being denied two goals by VAR. The Slovaks had 0.58-1.97 expected goals, 44% possession and 10-15 shots. 

The Falcons were successful in their last two test games ahead of Euro 2024, beating San Marino 4-0 and Wales 4-0.  They started this year with a poor performance and a 2-0 home loss to Austria in late March, ending the match with 0.83-1.04 expected goals, 47% possession and 12-9 shots.   

Francesco Calzona’s side did slightly better a couple of days later, holding Norway to a 1-1 draw in Oslo, Alexander Sorloth breaking the deadlock for the hosts, Ondrej Duda scoring a late equalizer. 

Slovakia Squad


Goalkeepers: Martin Dúbravka, Marek Rodák, Henrich Ravas, Dominik Takáč   
Defenders: Peter Pekarík, Milan Škriniar (captain), Norbert Gyömbér, Dávid Hancko, Denis Vavro, Vernon De Marco, Michal Tomič, Adam Obert, Sebastian Kóša, Matúš Kmeť   
Midfielders: Juraj Kucka, Ondrej Duda, Patrik Hrošovský, Stanislav Lobotka, Matúš Bero, László Bénes, Tomáš Rigo, Dominik Hollý, Jakub Kadák   
Forwards: Róbert Boženík, Lukáš Haraslín, Tomáš Suslov, Ivan Schranz, David Strelec, Dávid Ďuriš, Róbert Polievka, Ľubomír Tupta, Leo Sauer  

Ukraine Form 


Ukraine were demolished in their Euro 2024 opening match on Monday by Romania 3-0 despite being tagged favorites and having high possession before conceding the first goal. Sergey Rebrov’s side had 0.55-1.32 expected goals, 66% possession and 14-10 shots. 

They had to find their Euro 2024 ticket through the UEFA Nations League playoffs after ending 3rd in the qualifying Group C behind England and Italy.   

The Blue and Yellow were in a difficult position in the playoff semifinals against Bosnia & Herzegovina after Mykola Matviienko scored an own goal in the second half. Roman Yaremchuk found the equalizer in 85th minute, while Artem Dovbyk scored the winner just a couple of minutes later.   

Ukraine then proceeded to beat Iceland 2-1 in the playoff finals to secure a spot in Euro 2024. They were down by one goal in that clash as well, Viktor Tsygankov’s and Mikhaylo Mudryk’s goals then turning things around in the second half. 

Ukraine Squad


Goalkeepers: Heorhiy Bushchan, Andriy Lunin, Anatoliy Trubin   
Defenders: Mykola Matviyenko, Vitaliy Mykolenko, Illya Zabarnyi, Oleksandr Tymchyk, Yukhym Konoplya, Bohdan Mykhaylichenko, Oleksandr Svatok, Valeriy Bondar, Maksym Talovyerov   
Midfielders: Andriy Yarmolenko (captain), Taras Stepanenko, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Serhiy Sydorchuk, Ruslan Malinovskyi, Viktor Tsyhankov, Oleksandr Zubkov, Mykola Shaparenko, Mykhailo Mudryk, Heorhiy Sudakov, Volodymyr Brazhko   
Forwards: Roman Yaremchuk, Artem Dovbyk, Vladyslav Vanat   

Verdict

Excluding the opening loss to Romania, Ukraine lost just one of their last eight games. Slovakia are also unbeaten in their last eight contests, so I predict a close match to end in a draw with BTTS.
