Analysis Slovakia

After 2 losses, the home team comes to this 3rd round in the 5th position of Group F, with no points won. In the previous round, they lost in an away match against Slovenia by (1‑0), after they have lost in their first group stage by (0‑1) at home against England. In the last 10 home matches Slovakia has won 4, tied 4 and lost 2. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 7 of the last 13 matches have ended ended with Under 1,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have only turned the score around in 2. there is 1 period that stands out in the last 13 home matches for all competitions: they have suffered 4 of their 8 goals between minutes (61'‑75').

Slovakia began the hard way this qualifying for the World Cup in 2018, losing the first two matches of the competition, against England and Slovenia. Usually the coach Jan Kozak plays in 4-3-3 privileging the ball possession and organized attacks: Hamsik is largely responsible for organizing and creating the offensive process of the team. However, it should be recalled that the Slovaks have shown some weaknesses in time to finish. Apparently the home team's coach can count on Skrtel, player who was meeting punishment.

Confirmed Lineup: Matúš Kozáčik, Martin Škrtel, Ján Ďurica, Milan Škriniar, Jakub Holúbek, Erik Sabo, Marek Hamšík, Juraj Kucka, Róbert Mak, Michal Ďuriš, Adam Nemec.

Analysis Scotland

The away team comes to his 3rd round of Group F in the 2nd position, with 4 points won, after 1 win and 1 draw. In their debut in this group stage they won in an away match against Malta by (1‑5). In the second round, they tied at home against Lithuania by (1‑1). In the last 8 away matches Scotland has won 3, tied 2 and lost 3. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

The Scottish national team comes for this journey after a draw against Lithuania, by 1-1, however, it's important to note that in the first match of this qualifying round they beat Malta by 1-5. In this away home match the big goal will be to continue to score points and so, it's expectable that the coach Gordon Strachan will opt for a more defensive strategy, focusing on the counterattack: Ritchie is a very fast and very strong player in transporting the ball to attack. Like their opponent, the Scots have some inefficiency in time to finish. For this match there are no weight absences to register.

Confirmed Lineup: David Marshall, Callum Paterson, Grant Hanley, Kieran Tierney, James McArthur, Darren Fletcher, Barry Bannan, Matt Ritchie, Robert Snodgrass, Steven Fletcher.
Coach: R. Martin.
