Slovakia vs Ukraine prediction and betting tips - June 21, 2024
In the second round of the Euro 2024 group stage, Slovakia will face Ukraine. The match will take place in Düsseldorf on Friday, June 21, with the kickoff scheduled for 15:00 Central European Time. Experts at Dailysports have made a prediction for this match.
Slovakia
The Slovak team surprised many in the first round, delivering a real sensation by narrowly defeating Belgium. The only goal of the match was scored by forward Ivan Schranz.
Belgium scored twice, but both goals by Romelu Lukaku were disallowed due to offside and a foul in the attack. Overall, the Slovak team looked quite good, fighting on the field from the first to the last minute.
Ukraine
The match against Romania turned into a real disaster for the Ukrainian team. Sergey Rebrov's men were unrecognizable and created no danger at the opponent's goal. In response, the Romanians scored three goals and celebrated an unexpectedly crushing victory.
The Ukrainians had a defensive collapse, and Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin was partly at fault for two of the conceded goals. The team now has no margin for error. If they cannot defeat Slovakia, they are highly likely to exit the tournament after the group stage.
Interesting facts and head-to-head meetings

Slovakia vs Ukraine Prediction
The Ukrainians are still considered favorites, but the team's performance leaves much to be desired. I believe we won't see many goals and will bet on a total of fewer than 2.5 goals.
