Slovakia vs Slovenia prediction

Neither of these two nations have a point to their name yet, let alone a win after each being shut out in the first round of fixtures. However, both faced tough opposition in Sweden and Canada, so won’t be panicking just yet with this contest eminently more winnable from the point of view of both teams.

Slovenia came into this tournament expected to struggle as one of the lowest seeded nations and their attacking play does appear to lack a cutting edge. Slovakia are well-placed to take advantage of this and backing them here may prove a smart play.
