Northern Ireland vs Slovakia Prediction & Betting Tips - Euro
by James | in Euro Prediction
Two teams that are way off the boil in terms of form meet in a Euro 2020 play-off on Thursday when Northern Ireland host Slovakia at Windsor Park in Belfast. Northern Ireland have only won one of their last seven games in all competitions, while Slovakia are winless in seven of their last nine games. Both countries made it to the final of the play-off path by winning penalty shoot-outs in their respective semi-finals. Northern Ireland got the better of Bosnia are drawing 1-1 in regular play. Slovakia got past the Republic of Ireland after 120 minutes of goalless tension. Northern Ireland have picked up prominent results in recent years with their home form being the backbone of big steps forward. Yet they go into this game without a home win in four matches, one of which was a humiliating 5-1 defeat to a Norway side featuring the rampant talents of Erling Haaland.
Slovakia balance out this potential weakness of Northern Ireland with a terrible away record. The visiting side have failed to win on 11 of their last 13 matches on the road. They have failed to score on five occasions on that run. It should also be noted that the run featured three trips to Britain (England, Scotland, and Wales) with a return of three defeats. Slovakia are unbeaten in their last three matches against Northern Ireland, winning on the last occasion they had to play there, a World Cup qualifier back in 2009. We foresee a low-scoring game that will probably require additional time, if not penalties. Back a draw.
