Slovakia and Bulgaria go head to head at Josko Arena in Ried in what is expected to be an interesting warm-up game. Slovakia aim to build on a 2-1 win over Russia, and they will surely use the upcoming friendlies as a good preparation for the European Championship finals. Veteran midfielder Marek Hamsik is still part of the team, while Feyenoord attacker Robert Bozenik is widely expected to lead the line for the nominal hosts.
The Bulgarians, on the other hand, missed out on a place at the EURO 2021. Yasen Petrov’s men continue to struggle in the World Cup qualifiers, and given their difficulties in front of goal, we are tempted to put our money on Slovakia. When the two teams met in a friendly 15 years ago Slovakia defeated Bulgaria 3-1, and we predict that the history is going to repeat itself.
Slovakia is likely to lead the attacks in the game with all guns blazing as they are preparing for the upcoming UEFA European Championship fixtures. The host enjoys the ground advantage in the middle and has scored at least two goals each in their last two matches in the schedule.
This shows a good chance for a couple of goals in the game and thus, the tip for over 1.5 goals will probably be the best bet in the encounter. Furthermore, the match is sizing to be a home win in full-time regarding Bulgaria’s poor form in recent clashes. Hence, the tip for Slovakia to win will also come in handy to yield decent returns.
