Slovakia v Chile is an international friendly to be played on Sunday 20 November: here are the likely formations and the prediction
SLOVAKIA – CHILE | Sunday 1.30pm
On the day of the start of the World Cup in Qatar – the opening match is scheduled for today – Slovakia and Chile face each other in a melancholic friendly as the teams will watch each other play the most important event in world football. Now, for both, it also happened in 2018 as neither had managed to qualify for the one played in Russia and perhaps a little bit of getting used to it. But playing such matches is certainly frustrating in this context. But they go out on the pitch just the same and also in search of victory. Victory that has been missing for a long time for both of them, and victory that is expected to take its way to South America.
Despite the fact that Slovakia have that fine defender by the name of Skriniar, the Nerazzurri’s teammates seem clearly inferior to Vidal, Medel and Sanchez, people we all know in Italy. And then there are also two data points that give an idea of how the visiting team can succeed in the coup. The first is that a victory has been missing since last February, and there have been many matches in between. And then also because of the only previous one in 2009, which saw Chile prevail 2-1.
Vidal
The Prediction
A match that should give at least one goal per team with a Chilean victory looking far more predictable than the rest.
The likely Slovakia-Chile line-up
- SLOVAKIA (4-3-3): Dubravka; Pekarik, Satka, Skriniar, Hancko; Kucka, Lobotka, Duda; Bero, Bozenik, Duris
- CILE (4-3-1-2): Bravo; Soto, Sierralta, Maripan, Suazo; Mendez, Medel, Vidal; Nunez; Sanchez, Valencia.
POSSIBLE RESULT: 1-2
