On Sunday, at 14:00, Wales and Slovakia meet in the European Championship preliminaries in 2020 in a match played in Cardiff. Slovakia won the first match in group E, score 2-0 on the field of Hungary, while the Welsh come after a victory at the limit reached in the friendly with Trinidad & Tobago (1-0). The decisive goal of the white-red was marked by Woodburn.
Wales has scored in the relegation the void who decided to win with Trinidad & Tobago after an authoritative game dominated by Ryan Giggs national. There are some problems in finishing, but the Welsh have built many opportunities for a goal and confirmed the good performance in the end. Prior to this success, Wales lost the match with Albania (0-1) and duel with Denmark from the UEFA League (1-2). Besides, the Welsh have disappointed in this competition and now they have a very heavy skill group, where each point is vital.
Slovakia showed very well in the victory with Hungary, in which the goals were scored by Duda (’42) and Rusnak (’85). With a national team of renowned players such as Hamsik, Mak, Kucka, or Skriniar, the Slovaks will qualify for qualification and will not be a easy prey in Cardiff. Wales has won two previous two straight duels with 2-1 home and 5-2 away, but Slovakia keeps good memories of a visit to Cardiff: 5-1 in 2006! The Slovaks also showed offensive force in the matches with Ukraine (4-1), Sweden (1-1) and even with Czech (1-2), and the white-reds will need a perfect defense to escape the lighthouse blank received.
Giggs does not miss players such as Bale, Brooks, Wilson, Ramsey, Allen, Mepham, Dummett or Williams, who play at a very good level in the Premier League or the Championship. With an ideal “11” ideal, Wales should be dangerous in front of a team that practices a very fast counterattack game that will give it a chance. Slovakia is an experienced national who will know how to keep danger away from his own gate.
PREDICTION: Wales to win @ 2,00
