Switzerland vs Slovakia Prediction

Slovakia shut out Switzerland back in 2023, winning 3-0 and they’ll be confident of once again slamming the door on a Swiss offence who may well struggle against high-level opposition in this tournament. Head coach Ivan Fenes meanwhile, can call upon a number of Slovakian offensive prospects who should overwhelm Switzerland’s defence over the course of this match.

In the end, the likelihood is that Slovakia will wind up too good for Switzerland and grab victory, provided their squad can effectively cope with the short turnaround in fixtures, so back this outcome as appropriate.
