- 斯洛伐克在联赛阶段赢得了六场比赛中的四场
- 斯洛文尼亚在联赛阶段仅有的两场胜利是对阵哈萨克斯坦的
- 这对搭档的最后两次会面已经达到了水平
斯洛伐克可以坚定地对抗斯洛文尼亚
2024-25年欧洲联盟国家联赛附加赛本周开始，由于强大的联赛阶段运动，斯洛伐克将有机会自2021年以来首次重返乙级联赛。
Francesco Calzona的球队在C1c组表现出色，在六场比赛中赢了四场，只输了一场，仅落后于由超级明星Alexander Isak、Dejan Kulusevski和Viktor Gyokeres率领的瑞典队两分。
他们在联赛阶段表现如此出色的回报是与斯洛文尼亚的附加赛对决，第一回合在布拉迪斯拉发举行，他们最有可能在比赛中占据主动。
抽签专家们将再次陷入僵局
然而，自卡尔佐纳上任以来，斯洛伐克一直很难被击败；在他掌管的28场比赛中，他们只输了7场；斯洛文尼亚是一支极具天赋的球队，尽管他们的联赛阶段比赛令人失望。
Matjaz Kek的球队只能在B3组对阵哈萨克斯坦的比赛中取得胜利，但在联赛阶段五球得分手Benjamin Sesko的带领下，他们总是有机会获得积极的结果。
斯洛文尼亚的最后11场比赛中有7场在90分钟后持平；这场比赛包括对阵英格兰和葡萄牙的比赛；尽管他们的状态很差，但在卢布尔雅那的第二回合比赛之前，他们可以保持水平。
- Slovakia won four of their six matches in the League Phase
- Slovenia’s only two wins during the League Phase came against Kazakhstan
- The pair’s last two meetings have finished level
Slovakia can stand firm against Slovenia
The 2024-25 UEFA Nations League play-offs get underway this week and Slovakia will get the chance to return to League B for the first time since 2021 thanks to a strong League Phase campaign.
Francesco Calzona’s side gave a good account of themselves in Group C1c, winning four and losing just one of their six games to finish just two points behind a Sweden team led by superstars Alexander Isak, Dejan Kulusevski and Viktor Gyokeres.
Their reward for such a strong showing in the League Phase is a play-off showdown with Slovenia and, with the first leg taking place in Bratislava, they are favourites to take the initiative in the tie.
Draw specialists set for another stalemate
However, while Slovakia have been tough to beat since Calzona’s appointment – they have lost just seven of his 28 matches in charge – Slovenia are a supremely talented side, even if their League Phase campaign was a disappointment.
Matjaz Kek’s side could only muster up wins against Kazakhstan in Group B3 but with Benjamin Sesko, scorer of five goals in the League Phase, leading the line they will always have a chance of securing a positive result.
Seven of Slovenia’s last 11 matches have been level after 90 minutes – that run includes matches against England and Portugal – and despite their poor form, they can be expected to keep things level before the second leg in Ljubljana.
