Greece vs Slovakia: Friendly Match Prediction (08.06.2025)

On June 8, 2025, at 01:45 WIB, a friendly match will take place between the national teams of Greece and Slovakia at Pankritio Stadium in Heraklion. Bookmakers consider the hosts as favorites. Let’s review the current form of both teams and provide a prediction for the game.

Greece

The “Ellines” have been in excellent form recently. The team won 7 out of their last 9 matches, losing only to England and Scotland. Their last Nations League campaign was phenomenal under Ivan Jovanovic’s leadership. Greece earned 15 points out of a possible 18, including a victory over England on their home turf in London. However, they lost the return home game and finished behind the “Three Lions” in the standings based on head-to-head results. Ultimately, Greece faced Scotland in the playoff round for the right to compete in the elite Nations League division. After a home loss (0-1), the Greeks won convincingly away (3-0) and secured promotion.

Slovakia

The Slovakia national team has shown more modest results. Their last Nations League season was spent in the third division, where they collected 13 points in six group matches. However, this was not enough to top the group, and Francesco Calzona’s team finished second. The lack of attacking sharpness prevented Slovakia from moving up to the second division. In the playoff, they faced Slovenia. Both matches ended 0-0, with the outcome decided by a single extra-time goal scored by Slovenia.

Statistics and Head-to-Head Meetings

Between 2000 and 2013, the teams met five times. Since then, they have not played each other. The statistical advantage lies with Greece, with 3 wins to Slovakia’s 1. One match ended in a draw.

Prediction

For the Greece vs Slovakia match, the prediction favors the home team. The “Ellines” have been performing much better lately and are in excellent form. Additionally, they benefit from strong support from their passionate home fans. In this situation, betting on a Greece win at odds of 1.94 looks appealing.
