Spain will host Slovakia in the final round of the group stages at the Estadio de la Cartuja in Sevilla on 23rd June 2021 at 21:30 IST. The odds are clearly in favor of Spain to win the match and make it to the knockout stages.

Teams Status

Slovakia

Slovakia are currently in the second position of the group with three points from two matches. They started off the tournament brilliantly with an exceptional win over Poland. The Slovaks opened the scoring in the first half in the form of an own goal. But they conceded as soon as the second half started. Soon after that Poland were reduced to ten men which gave some breathing space to Slovakia. They exploited that and got a second goal in the form of Milan Skriniar. In the second match, despite dominating the possession, Slovakia could not keep a single shot on target. They went on to concede a penalty in the mid second half which led to the only goal of the match. They would want to bounce back from the previous loss against Sweden and make amends.

Spain

Spain are currently in the third position of Group E with just two points from two matches. They are just one point behind Slovakia and one point clear of Poland. Spain dominated most of the match against Sweden in the first match, but could not break the deadlock and open the score sheet. But their defense was pretty solid as they kept Sweden at bay. In the second match, they started off brilliantly similar to the first match. And this time they opened the scoring in the form of Alvaro Morata. But the Polish side soon equalized early in the second. The match ended 1-1 courtesy of a penalty miss by the Villarreal striker Gerard Moreno. There is a likely possibility that Enrique could bring Ferran Torres back into the playing XI at the expense of Moreno and might keep the other players the same.

Tipster’s Angle

Spain have dominated most of the matches in the first two matches against Sweden and Poland, and a similar match is expected from them against Slovakia. A low scoring encounter could be expected as produced in the other Group E matches.

Tip: Spain -1.5 @ 1.68

In the last four head to head matches, Spain has won two, Slovakia has won one and the other match ended in a draw. Also, Spain won both the head to head matches that they hosted. Even Spain covered the -1.5 spread in both the matches. In the last ten matches that Slovakia has played, they have won four, drew four and lost two matches. Spain are currently unbeaten in their last nine matches and have lost just one match in their last ten matches. Spain have covered the spread of -1.5 in 66% of their wins. So, it is most likely that Spain could win the match by two or more goals at 1.68 odds available at the Dafabet sportsbook.

Tip: Alvaro Morata To Score @ 1.87

Alvaro Morata is playing the number nine role for Spain in this Euros and a lot is riding on his shoulders in the attacking front. In the first two matches, he has scored one goal and also that is the only Spanish goal in the tournament. He started 23 matches for Juventus in the Serie A this season and had netted as many as 11 goals with an average of 1.8 shots per match. Here in the Euros, he averages 3.5 shots per match and many more goals are expected from him. In the last three competitive matches that he had played, he had scored three goals at an average of one goal per match. So, it could be possible that Alvaro Morata could find the back of the net at 1.87 odds available at the Betway sportsbook.

Conclusion

Spain were the pre season favorites to win the Group E, but the table is not looking as it was expected with Spain lying in the third position. But Spain still has their destiny in their own hands. A win here for either team could see them through to the knockouts.
