Another thrilling football match is coming tonight!
Tehelné Pole in Bratislava will be the venue where the national teams of Slovakia and Croatia will face each other in a very important qualification match. This is a game from Group H in the European competition race for the World Cup next year.
After four rounds in the group, Croatia stands in the leading spot with 7 points, and Slovakia has only one point deficit standing in the third position. So tonight’s duel can be of great importance for both national teams and possibly a decision-maker for Qatar 2022.
Slovakia won only one game so far in the group competition and played three drew games. They managed to beat the national team of Russia with the result of 2:1 and played draw matches against Cyprus (0:0), Malta (2:2), and Slovenia (1:1). So tonight the Slovaks are facing probably the greatest challenge, the national team of Croatia. Štefan Tarkovič must use the home stadium advantage to win this important game and put themselves in a better position, otherwise, it’s going to become harder for them to achieve their goal.
Croatia on the other hand opened the tournament with a losing result against the national team of Slovenia (1:0). But after that, the Checkered Ones won two consecutive matches against Cyprus (1:0) and Malta (3:0). In their last match, they played a goalless game against the national team of Russia, and now the Croatians have equal points on their account like the Russians. This makes it very important for Croatia to win tonight’s game against Slovakia, so Zlatko Dalić must do his best to find the right approach and try to win points on the visiting match in Bratislava.
We expect a great football fight tonight, where both teams will do their best to win the game. Croatia is a slight favorite to win the game because of their great experience as a team.
So tune in tonight and see the outcome of this interesting football duel in Slovakia, and find out who’s going to step closer to the next World Cup in Qatar 2022.
