Recent form

Slovakia

Slovakia's recent form shows a mix of results, but with a positive trend in their last two matches. They are currently on a two-game winning streak in the UEFA Nations League, securing clean sheets in both victories. Their performance in the European Championship was less consistent, with one win, one draw, and two losses. Notably, Slovakia has been defensively solid, keeping three clean sheets in their last six games and conceding an average of less than one goal per game (0.83). Their matches tend to be low-scoring affairs, with 67% of their recent games featuring under 2.5 goals. While Slovakia's goal-scoring record is modest at 1.17 goals per game, they have managed to maintain a positive goal difference (+2) over this period. The team's ability to keep clean sheets and grind out narrow victories, as evidenced by their 1-0 wins against Estonia and Belgium, appears to be a key strength in their current form.

Sweden

Sweden's recent form presents an interesting mix of results. They are currently on a two-game winning streak in the UEFA Nations League, which is a positive turnaround from their previous three-game losing streak in friendlies. The team's goal-scoring ability has been notable, averaging 1.67 goals per game over the last six matches. However, their defensive record is a concern, conceding an average of 1.83 goals per game. The high-scoring nature of their matches is evident, with 83% of games featuring over 2.5 goals, including a particularly high-scoring friendly against Portugal that ended 5-2. Despite the defensive issues, Sweden has managed two clean sheets in their last six games, both coming in their most recent matches, suggesting a potential improvement in their defensive organization.

Recent home/away form

Slovakia

Slovakia's recent home form shows a mixed bag of results, with a current two-game winning streak following a loss to Ukraine in the European Championship. Their last six home matches have produced 3 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses, showcasing some inconsistency. Notably, Slovakia's attacking prowess is evident in their last two friendly matches, where they scored 4 goals in each game against Wales and San Marino, indicating their potential for high-scoring encounters. Despite conceding in half of these games, their defensive record remains solid, with an average of just 0.83 goals conceded per game and 3 clean sheets. The team's goal-scoring ability is impressive, netting 12 goals in 6 matches for an average of 2 goals per game, contributing to a high total goals average of 2.83 per match.

Sweden

Sweden's recent away form has been inconsistent, with a current record of 2 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses in their last 6 matches. Notably, they experienced a three-game losing streak from October 2023 to June 2024, which was bookended by impressive victories. Their away games have been high-scoring affairs, with 83% of matches seeing over 2.5 goals and an average of 4 goals per game. The team has shown both offensive prowess and defensive vulnerabilities, scoring and conceding 12 goals each across these 6 matches. Standout results include a 5-0 victory against Estonia and a 5-2 defeat to Portugal, highlighting the team's potential for both dominant performances and heavy losses on the road. Despite the inconsistency, Sweden's ability to score consistently (averaging 2 goals per game) suggests they remain a threat in away fixtures.
