Slovakia will not win
Slovakia have had a good run of form recently; they've won three of their last four games, with one loss. However, it's fair to point out that Slovakia's only loss in that four-game stretch came at the hands of Kazakhstan. Also, Kazakhstan have been a difficult team to beat, especially recently; they are unbeaten in their last six matches in all competitions, with four wins and two draws. Considering Kazakhstan defeated Slovakia in the reverse fixture away from home, we believe they'll take at least one point from this game.
Goals will be in short supply
Slovakia have been really solid defensively; they kept three clean sheets in their last four games, conceding just once in that stretch. Conversely, Slovakia have not been a high-scoring side; as they averaged exactly one goal per game in their last four games. As a result, Slovakia's games usually don't feature lots of goals; their last five games went below the 2.5 goal mark, with their last three games going under 1.5. In like manner, Kazakhstan have had their fair share of low-scoring games; as all of their last four games saw less than three goals scored. With this in mind, this will likely be a low-scoring affair.
