Estonia vs Slovakia Prediction

Estonia’s national football team are not favourites for this tie because Slovakia won two games in their most recent meetings. They endured a 5-1 loss to Poland in the EURO 2024 playoffs and got on the scoreboard in the last few games. But they managed to win their fifth Baltic Cup in the nation’s history by defeating Lithuania in the 2024 Baltic Cup earlier this summer.

Slovakia’s national football team, meanwhile, are favourites for this tie after their sensational Euro 2024 campaign where they almost eliminated England in the round-of-16 tie. The Slovaks are favourites to win their first competitive fixture and to get through the group stages effortlessly.

Predicted Score: Estonia 1-2 Slovakia
