Austria vs. Slovakia Tip & Quotes, 06.06.2021 – 17:30
On early Sunday evening, 06/06/2021 at 17:30, the last friendly for the Austrian national team will take place at the Ernst Happel Stadium before the European Championship against Slovakia. The ÖFB team showed uninspired against England’s B-Eleven last Wednesday and beat the first test shortly before the EURO. The repertoire is also not yet in EM form and did not go beyond a draw against Bulgaria at home on Tuesday.

The national team, led by Franco Foda, was unable to convince in the first of two friendly matches before the European Championships and was defeated in England by Saka in the second half with 0:1 (57th). The „Bundesliga selection“ of the Red and White (with the exception of goalkeeper Bachmann and Schaub) was anything but happy against a B selection of the Three Lions in the duel in Middlesbrough. Although the ÖFB team had more ball possession in the initial phase, the chances were given to the island kickers, until after the change of sides the home team dropped the earned 1-0. Austria only had good opportunities in the final phase, but did not use them to compensate.
After a disappointing 0-4 home debacle in the World Cup qualifying against Denmark, the Foda team lost their second international game in a row at home. The signs of playing a better EURO than 2016 in France are not yet good. Five years ago, the alpine kickers flew out without victory after the preliminary round – Hungary (0:2), Portugal (0:0), Iceland (1:2). Austria came furthest in a final round of the European Championships over 60 years ago with the entry into the 1960 quarter-finals. The EM 2021 will also only be the fifth in which the ÖFB selection is included.
Around 3000 fans can take part in the last test before the EURO at the Ernst-Happel-Stadion. For the spectators a good opportunity to say goodbye to their team with a win in the tournament. The star in the Austrian national squad is David Alaba, who recently moved from Bavaria Munich to Real Madrid. In addition to the Mittelfeldmann, Marcel Sabitzer (RB Leipzig) and Xaver Schlager (VFL Wolfsburg) are also among Austria’s most valuable and best kickers.

After all, the Slovaks did not lose a few days ago, but they also hosted an eleven with Bulgaria, which has been experiencing problems for years and is not really competitive. Stefan Tarkovic’s national team was 0-1 behind after just eight minutes (goalscorer Iliev). Laszlo Benes from the Bundesliga side FC Augsburg managed to equalise on the other side quite quickly 1:1 (26th). But it wasn’t enough for more and it stayed with a disappointing draw. There must be significantly more of the repertoire in the European Championships, otherwise the final round will soon be over again after the group stage with opponents such as Spain, Poland and Sweden.
Despite the draw against Bulgaria, the Tarkovic team is still unbeaten this year and beat Russia 2-1 at home in the last competitive match in the World Cup qualifying round. Before that, there were two points in Cyprus (0-0) and at home against Malta (2-2). Slovakia therefore finds it harder to tackle allegedly light tasks than against teams that are stronger from the point of view of paper. The EURO 2021 will be the second ever for Slovaks. It was the first time in France five years ago and came straight into the quarter-finals – Wales (1:2), Russia (2:1), England (0:0), but then clearly failed there because of Germany (0:3).
The absolute top star in the Slovak national team is Milan Skriniar from the Italian Serie A Club Inter Milan. The central defender has just won the championship in Italy and accounts for almost half of Slovakia’s total squad value. In addition to the Defensive Specialist, Naples Stanislav Lobotka and Cologne’s Ondrej Duda are among the pillar players in the squad.
