Slovakia U19 vs Germany U19 tips and predictions

Crazy to look past Slovakia U19?

A result is well within Slovakia U19's capabilities.

The hosts are coming into the match with 12 wins in their last 20 games. Some people think that Germany U19 will make light work of it but it just isn't as simple as that.

Slovakia U19 need to focus on the task in hand if they are to continue causing problems. The home team is in some form on their own soil. They have scored three or more goals in 8 of their recent 18 home matches and accolades have also come in for their defence. At the back they've kept a clean sheet in 6 of their last 11 home games.

Sometimes Germany U19 haven't had the required tools to stand up to pressure. They have conceded three or more goals in 3 of their last 15 matches. Some of those issues are manifesting themselves at the other end of the pitch. In front of goal the visitors have sometimes been quite poor. They've been goalless in 2 of their last 5 matches.

It's felt that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match despite the favouritism for Germany U19. Nevertheless the odds-against for the No BTTS is actually the smart play from that market.

So what will actually give this home squad confidence to get the job done? Some of their finishing has been impressive in recent outings. It could make the difference for them between annihilation and an honourable display.
