Slovakia vs Estonia Prediction and Betting Tips | November 19th 2024
Slovakia and Estonia draw the curtain in Group C1 of the UEFA Nations League when they lock horns at the Stadion Antona Malatinského on Tuesday. Having lost the last three meetings between the two nations, Jurgen Henn’s men will head into the midweek clash looking to get one over the hosts and close out the campaign on a positive note.
Slovakia’s quest to clinch automatic promotion into League B came to an end on Saturday when they fell to a 2-1 loss against Sweden in their top-of-the-table clash at the Friends Arena.
Before that, Francesco Calzona’s side were unbeaten in their four matches in Group C1, picking up three wins and one draw while scoring eight goals and keeping two clean sheets.
With 10 points from a possible 15, Slovakia are currently second in the group standings but are guaranteed a shot at promotion through the playoff as they sit six points above Tuesday's visitors in third place.
Estonia, on the other hand, turned in a solid defensive display last time out when they held Azerbaijan to a goalless draw at the Gabala City Stadium. Henn’s men have failed to win four of their five Nations League matches, losing three and picking up one draw heading into Tuesday’s group finale.
Estonia’s only victory came on October 11, when they edged out Azerbaijan 3-1 at the A. Le Coq Arena courtesy of goals from loan Yakovlev, Vlasiy Sinyavskiy and Rocco Robert Shein.
Slovakia vs Estonia Head-To-Head and Key Numbers
- Slovakia have been the dominant side in the history of this fixture, having picked up three wins from the last three meetings between the two nations.

Slovakia vs Estonia Prediction
Off the back of a bitter defeat against Sweden, Slovakia will be backing themselves to bounce back on Tuesday as they take on Estonia, who have failed to win 18 of their last 21 games.
Henn’s men have lost their previous three games against the hosts and we fancy them to struggle at the Stadion Antona Malatinského once again.
