Slovakia vs Ukraine Previews
Slovakia Team Preview
The Slovakian camp would be hoping to capitalize on their initial victory with yet another win which eventually secures their position in the top two of their group and which will lead to an easy round of 16 qualification for them.
- Slovakia began their last Euro campaign in a similar manner with a victory in their first game, but that followed by two consecutive losses which brought an end to the Falcons’ journey in their previous attempt. Sokoli will make sure not to repeat the same and snatch a victory in today’s fixture.
- Slovakia has been able to capitalize just once out of the last four times when they have faced off against Ukraine and with the new found confidence in their last game, they would definitely aim to conquer the Blue and Yellow squad this time around.
- Coach Francesco Calzona has made sure to give the Slovakian fans a treat but he is well aware that the squad does not loose focus and humility after thrashing Belgium which brought an end to their 15 match unbeaten run.
Ukraine Team Preview
Ukraine had an underwhelming start to the Euro this year with a 3-0 final score against Romania where Coach Serhiy Rebrov’s men couldn’t convert a goal in the net although having a good amount of ball possession.
- The head to head encounters between the two slightly favors Ukraine which has seen three wins and two losses against the Falcons and with other three games resulting in a draw.
- Serhiy Rebrov is considering a significant revamp of his lineup to enhance the team’s pace and precision. This overhaul could include a strategic shift to a 3-4-3 formation.
