Israel - Slovakia Prediction, Picks and Taips

On the second day of the Nations League in group B2, Israel will host the Slovak team. Spectators are not allowed in the match, which reduces the home advantage for the hosts. Last Friday they kicked off the second edition of the European competition with a 1-1 draw in Scotland. The guests had to admit defeat on their season debut in the Nations League with 1: 3 in the neighborhood duel with the Czech Republic. For the match in Netanya between Israel and Slovakia, the tip is aimed at the Eastern Europeans losing again and Eran Zahavi hits.

The most recent draw against the Scots was performance-based and at the same time a test for the upcoming direct duel in October, when the teams will again face each other as part of the qualification for the Euro 2021 in the semi-finals of the playoffs. However, Dia Saba cannot currently appear. The attacking midfielder has stayed in China where he is under contract with Guangzhou R&F. For Israel this is definitely a weakening, because the 27-year-old is in good shape and has scored in two of the last four league games in the Super League. The country's top goal getter is available for this. We're talking about Eran Zahavi. The Israelis' best striker by far was also under contract with Guangzhou, but has since left China and is unlikely to come back. In the Super League, the striker took the top scorer's crown last season - for the second time since 2017. Zahavi has also been unstoppable in the national team in the recent past. The country's two-time footballer scored eleven goals in the ten games of the last qualifying for the European Championship - only Brit Harry Kane scored once more. He shared the second place with CR7! Also in the last exchange of blows with Scotland, he contributed the equalizer to 1-1. Furthermore, coach Willibald Ruttensteiner, who recently took over the job from his compatriot Andreas Herzog on an interim basis and is on top the sports director of the Israeli national team, can fall back on Munas Dabbur, another dangerous player with international class. The offensive midfielder presented himself very successfully to his employer from Hoffenheim at the end of the past season in the Bundesliga: Dabbur scored four goals in the final five rounds of the game. In the national team, the 28-year-old was recently equally efficient with three goals in the last four international matches and he put on the Zahavi goal against the Bravehearts last Friday evening.

Slovakia has always been able to rely on Marek Hamsik in recent years. The record national player and best goalscorer in the history of the Slovak national team is now slowly above his zenith. The 33-year-old was sorted out at SSC Napoli last year and only kicks in the Super League in China at Dalian Pro. A commitment that has so far been associated with a manageable success: the Slovakian captain has only scored four goals in 37 missions. Coach Pavel Hapal now has to form a team that is no longer focused on Hamsik as before. However, the number of talented players is rather limited and the recent bankruptcy against the Czech Republic has shown that this endeavor will still need a lot of time. Slovakia currently has to do without their goalkeeper Martin Dubravka. The 33-year-old otherwise guards the Magpies' box in the Premier League, but is currently curing an injury. In view of this failure and the weak defensive performance in the last match as well as the strong storm of the home side as described, the odds for more than one hit by the Ruttensteiner-Elf are equipped with value on top of that in Israel against Slovakia.
