Slovakia: Team News

In contrast to many European, and not only, the Slovaks have not played a single friendly match this week. Apparently, the coaching staff believes that the team has not lost a play tone since the times of the Euros and they decided not to burden his players with an extra game. Although they had better have played a friendly as the European Championship for the Slovaks ended two months ago.

England: Team News

England changed its coach. Local football authorities have found England's performance at the Euro failed and Allardyce replaced Roy Hodgson. So at the moment it is very difficult to imagine what is a team of England. After all, Sam Allardyce, with all due respect, has not worked at the level like this before. In his club list there are teams that hardly would be thought to be powerful.

Possible starting lineups of the teams:

Slovakia: Matus Kozacik - Tomas Hubocan, Martin Skrtel, Jan Durica, Peter Pekarik - Dusan Svento, Viktor Pecovsky, Marek Hamsik (c), Juraj Kucka, Robert Mak - Michal Duris (4-5-1 formation)

England: Joe Hart - Nathaniel Clyne, Gary Cahill, John Stones, Luke Shaw - Jordan Henderson, Eric Dier - Wayne Rooney (c), Adam Lallana, Raheem Sterling - Harry Kane (4-2-3-1 formation)

Missing players of Slovakia and England:

Slovakia: Vladimir Weiss (absent in the squad), Ondrej Duda (injured).

England: Fraser Forster (Arm Injury).

Slovakia vs. England: Match Preview

The current England is a big mystery. It is not known whether the team will be able to adequately carry out qualifying. And here Slovaks are strong and playing at home. Therefore, the bookmakers position is not entirely clear that the English are put forward to be certain favourite. Thus Slovakia is quite capable to fight.
