Sweden has faced considerable challenges at home recently, with eight losses in their last ten UEFA Nations League matches, and they haven’t scored in their last four games. Slovakia has also experienced inconsistent form away, though they’ve only lost once in their last seven outings.
High-scoring games have been common in Slovakia’s recent matches, with over 2.5 goals recorded in 10 of their last 13 away games in the UEFA Nations League. Sweden’s recent home fixtures show a similar pattern, with 10 of their last 13 games also ending with over 2.5 goals, making a high-scoring encounter between these teams probable.
Leading up to matches against teams like Napoli and Udinese, Sweden had consistently both scored and conceded in 10 consecutive games. Slovakia has a similar record, with goals at both ends in 10 of their last 13 games at this level.
Prediction
Sweden has developed a pattern of both scoring and conceding in their recent top-flight games, with this trend appearing in their last nine matches. Slovakia has followed a similar path, with both teams scoring in eight of their last ten games, suggesting a likely repeat.
Prediction: Sweden 1 : 2 Slovakia
