Slovakia vs Spain Prediction 12 June 2025

🔊 The opening match of the U21 European Championship in Group A, featuring Slovakia and Spain, promises to be an intriguing clash. This encounter kicks off the tournament as Slovakia hosts this year's championship. Both teams are known for their vibrant play: the Slovaks often find the net at home, while the Spaniards typically display high-scoring performances. However, the current form of both squads raises concerns, as neither has secured a win in their recent matches. What will this game hold for the teams?

Slovakia's Under-21 team approaches the home European Championship in a shaky form, having failed to secure a win in their last five matches. Despite this, the Slovaks show decent scoring ability, averaging around two goals per game. However, their defense is concerning, conceding over one and a half goals per match. In their most recent head-to-head encounter on March 21, 2024, Slovakia defeated Spain in a friendly (2-0) and now aim to put up another strong fight on their home turf.

• shots on target: 2 vs 2.

Spain's Under-21 team ranks among Europe's most formidable youth squads. With a rock-solid defense and a potent attack, they seldom lose and consistently score over two goals per game, leaving opponents with little chance to respond. However, heading into the upcoming tournament, "La Rojita" aren't in peak form: they haven't won any of their last three friendlies, recording one draw and two losses. Despite this, their head-to-head history against Slovakia is favorable for the Spaniards, as all official encounters between these sides have ended in victories for Spain.
