Slovakia vs Wales Predictions

• Four of Wales’ last five games have produced under 2.5 goals
• Wales have failed to net in five of their last seven friendly matches
• Two of Slovakia’s last six wins have been by a scoreline of 1-0

Wales looking to bounce back after disappointment

Wales suffered one of the worst results in their recent history this week as they were held to a 0-0 draw by minnows Gibraltar, a team that had lost their last 13 games by an aggregate score of 50-0.

The strugglers avoided defeat for the first time since beating Andorra in November 2022, increasing the pressure on Wales manager Rob Page. The Dragons are in transition undoubtedly but have enough quality that they should be comfortably seeing off Gibraltar.

Goals have been a real issue for this team, they have failed to score in five of their last seven friendlies and this looks likely to be a low-scoring affair when they meet Slovakia.

The hosts are preparing for Euro 2024, without former captain and talisman Marek Hamsik, and beat San Marino 4-0 last time out.

Low-scoring clash likely

Slovakia’s forwards hardly jump off the page however and they are more a team likely to grind out results. With four of Wales’ last five games going under 2.5 goals and Slovakia lacking quality going forward, take fewer than three goals to be scored here.

Two of the hosts’ last six wins have been by a 1-0 scoreline and that is the correct score selection in this game, with the Dragons’ struggles set to continue.
