Slovakia v Spain betting tips: La Roja still seeking first win

Spain are 2/9 to get the win they need but will need to be more clinical if they are to reach the latter stages of the tournament, with victory and over 2.5 goals available at 4/5.

Slovakia are 14/1 underdogs but a draw will be enough for them to finish in the top two if Poland fail to beat Sweden. A draw in Seville is priced at 11/2 while Slovakia are 7/2 to avoid defeat.

Slovakia v Spain head-to-head

Spain and Slovakia have met on six previous occasions and La Roja have come out on top four times.

The most recent meetings were in qualifying for the 2016 Euros when Slovenia secured a famous 2-1 win in Zilina to end Spain’s 37-match unbeaten run in World Cup and European Championship qualifiers.

Spain gained revenge 11 months later with a 2-0 win in Oviedo while current coach Enrique was a goalscorer in a 4-1 victory in the first meeting in 1996.

Previous XI

Spain: Simon, P Torres, Llorente, Alba, Laporte, Koke, Rodri, Pedri, Morata, Moreno, Olmo.

Key battles

Moreno’s penalty miss and Morata putting the rebound wide summed up Spain’s tournament in front of goal so far, with only one goal to show for all the chances they have created.

Spain to win and Moreno to have at least two shots on target can be backed at 17/20 while Morata is the 13/5 favourite to open the scoring.

Being more ruthless will be vital but Spain at least look solid in defence and will be confident of containing a limited Slovakia attack, with star man Marek Hamsik having so far made little impact.
