Slovakia showcased their strength during the Euros, putting up a tough fight against England and leading 1-0 until added time. On the other hand, Estonia had a rough time during their Euro 2024 qualifiers, losing seven out of eight matches and managing to score only twice.

The upcoming match seems to be a tough start for Estonia, as they face a Slovakia side that dominated their way through the Euro 2024 qualifiers with seven wins out of 10 matches. Slovakia’s defensive record speaks volumes, conceding just eight goals in those 10 games, with half of them coming against Portugal. Their commendable performance against England in the last 16 stage of the tournament only added to their reputation.

Although Estonia managed to secure promotion from the bottom tier of the Nations League in 2022, their return to League C might not be as smooth. With tough tests against Sweden and Azerbaijan on the horizon, facing a strong Slovakia side is not the ideal start for them. The 5-1 defeat to Poland in a playoff for the tournament was a harsh reality check for Estonia, who struggled throughout their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign.

Slovakia’s ability to grind out results was evident in their wins to nil against Liechtenstein and Luxembourg on their way to Euro 2024. They also showed their knack for securing narrow victories with 1-0 wins in two out of three Nations League away fixtures in 2022. With their solid defensive record and knack for grinding out results, Slovakia are favored to come out on top in what is expected to be a low-scoring affair against Estonia.
