Slovakia vs Luxembourg Prediction: Expect a win for the home team

At the stadium, Anton Malatinsky, there will be a qualifying match for the European Football Championship, where the national teams of Slovakia and Luxembourg will meet on March 23, 2023.

Until 2010, the Slovak national team never qualified for major international tournaments, but then progress began. They played in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and then qualified for Euro 2016 and Euro 2020. They performed poorly in qualifying for the 2022 World Cup, missing out on Russia and Croatia. Instead of preparing for the World Cup, the Slovaks played quietly in the third division of the UEFA Nations League, but even at this modest level, they could not perform well. They managed only seven points through six games, good enough for third place in the quartet, which can only be interpreted as an absolute failure.

The Luxembourg team has made tremendous progress in recent years. Before, the team always acted as hopeless outsiders in qualifying tournaments, and any point they scored could be considered a global sensation. Now they are performing at the level of the European average. For example, they have scored nine points in eight games in the World Cup 2022 qualifying, sharing third place in the standings with the Irish, with only the Serbs and the Portuguese ahead. It is obvious that the Luxembourgers are not the beating boys for the Euro-2024 qualification, but it is still too early to count on qualifying for the final part of the tournament.

The Luxembourg national team has been resilient recently, but it is still too early to solve the big problem. The Slovak national team is a much more sophisticated team, which was selected for the last two continental championships, so now we will try to cope with this task. The opponents are in a very even and competitive group, with the clear favorites - Portuguese, Liechtenstein, and Luxembourg - and everyone else who will fight for the second ticket to Euro 2024. For this reason, the team can not stumble already in the first round, and you can bet on the victory of the Slovak national team with a total over 1.5.

The Slovak national team was disgusting in the last UEFA Nations League. This is especially true of their attacking exploits, as they only managed six goals (1.00 average per game) in their group against Belarusians, Kazakhs, and Azerbaijanis in six games. Fortunately, they will face modest Luxembourg in the first round of Euro 2024 qualifying, which has conceded 18 goals in eight meetings (2.25 average per game) in qualification for the World Cup 2022. Moreover, the Falcons won their last two matches - 3:0 and 4:2, so the best option for the prediction seems to be an individual total of Slovakia over 1.5, and we also can bet on the goal of Robert Bozenik.
