Without a win in its last three games Slovakia which after a good appearance at the Euro premiere in the summer, did not have the same continuity knowing the exclusion from the groups with two defeats against Sweden and Spain. Last week, they faced Slovenia away for the World Cup qualifiers, drawing 1-1 in a game with few phases in front of the two hosts.
Scoring the Slovaks are in 3rd place in the group after four games with three draws and one win with 6 points. It is worth noting that in four matches he has conceded four goals, facing several problems in defense.
In the enemy camp the Croatian had a very dignified appearance in the finals of the European Championship in the summer, managing to reach the 8 of the tournament falling on Spain from which he was eliminated in the extra time process after an amazing game that ended in the regular time 3-3
In the last match, they faced Russia away from home, taking the old one without a score, thus remaining at the top of the group, with 7 points after four games, maintaining the lead for qualifying for the World Cup finals.
The difference in quality between the two groups is more than obvious. The Slovaks have a huge defense problem While on the other the Croatian although he had nothing to do with the team of previous years he still has a lot of experience in all positions. With victory Croats ensure to some extent their participation in the finals of the tournament and the double in performance close to doubling, can not go unnoticed.
