Slovakia vs Northern Ireland Prediction & Betting Tips (14 November)

We have to go back to the 2010 edition to find any trace of Slovakia's presence in the final phase of the World Cup. At the time, this selection was able to reach the 1/8 finals and it has never been so close to being able to qualify again for this competition. As proof, the Sokoli are installed in 2nd place in this group A but they have the same number of points as the Germans who are leaders. Able to bring down the Mannschaft 2-0 on the first day, the Slovaks were then able to win against Luxembourg 0-1 before making a very bad move by losing in Northern Ireland during the first leg 2-0 played last month. Fortunately for it, the 46th nation in the Fifa ranking was able to resume its march forward a few days later against Luxembourg 2-0. Opposite, Northern Ireland undoubtedly said goodbye to its hopes of being able to compete in the first World Cup in its history, through these qualifiers in any case.

The British are 3 lengths behind the first 2 places occupied by Slovakia and especially Germany which is moving to Luxembourg. That said, a victory today would allow Michael O'Neill's men to return to 2nd position in this group and hope to play in the play-offs. Winners of Luxembourg 1-3, the Northern Irish then had to surrender against Germany 3-1 before winning against Slovakia 2-0. Finally, on the last day, the 69th nation in the Fifa rankings was narrowly beaten, again by the Germans 0-1. 

The majority of Slovak executives are present for this gathering except the Lyon goalkeeper Greif (5 sel) and the midfielder Suslov (Hellas Verona, 40 sel, 4 goals). Otherwise, the goalkeeper Dubravka (Burnley, 57 sel) and the defenders Pekarik (135 sel), Skriniar (Fenerbahce, 85 sel), Hancko (Atlético Madrid, 55 sel), Vavro (Wolfsbourg) and Satka (Samsunspor) are present. In the middle, this team is also well armed with Duda (89 sels, 15 goals), Lobotka (Napoli, 69 sels, 4 goals) and Hrosovsky (Genk, 61 sels) and Sauer (Toulouse, 21 sels, 4 goals) while at the front, we should find interesting elements like Bozenik (Stoke City, 54 sels, 7 goals), Haraslin (Sparta Prague, 48 sels, 7 goals), Schranz (Slavia Prague, 34 sels, 7 goals) and Strelec (Middlesbrough, 34 sels, 8 goals. Called up last month, defender Brodie Spencer (19 sels), McCann (33 sels) and Taylor (Blackpool) are not present this time.

Otherwise, the vast majority of Northern Irish executives are operational. Among them, we find serious elements like defenders McNair (San Diego, 79 sels, 7 goals), Ballard (Sunderland, 32 sels), Bradley (Liverpool, 28 sels) and Hume (Sunderland), midfielders Saville (Luton Town, 62 sels), Price (West Bromwich Albion, 26 sels, 10 goals), Devenny (Crystal Palace, 9 sels) and attackers Magennis (84 caps, 12 goals) and Marshall (West Ham).
