Switzerland U20 vs Slovakia U20: World Youth Championship Match Prediction
The youth teams of Switzerland and Slovakia will play their second match on December 27 as part of the World Youth Championship. Last year, neither team managed to reach the medals - both teams were eliminated in the quarterfinals. Which team will be able to start the new tournament with a victory? The answer is in our forecast for this match.
Command Analysis
Switzerland U20
SwitzerlandCurrent form
The Swiss U20 team has never won a medal at the World U20 Championship. The closest the Swiss came was in 2019, when they lost to Russia in the third-place match. In the most recent edition of the tournament, the team barely made it out of the group, scoring only three points in four matches. Then they managed to beat only the main outsider, Norway, who were left without any points. Unsurprisingly, Switzerland was eliminated in the first stage of the playoffs, but still managed to put up a fight against the Swedes, who only won in overtime.
Before the tournament, the Swiss youth team played a number of friendly matches, the last of which took place last week. First, the team lost heavily to Canada (1:7), and then managed to beat Latvia (5:1). In the first match of the World Championship, the nominal hosts lost heavily to their peers from the Czech Republic (1:5).
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has won three of its last four matches.
- At the last World Cup, the Swiss managed to win only one match out of five
Slovakia U20
SlovakiaCurrent form
The Slovakian youth team has already started its performance at the World Championship. In the first match, the Slovaks were unable to do anything against their peers from Sweden, losing with a score of 2:5. Ivan Fenesh charges were able to win the first period, but the second and third twenty minutes were completely won by the Swedes. It is unlikely that such a result surprised anyone, after all, the Swedes are much higher class, but with the Swiss team, the chances of a positive outcome will be much greater. These teams met at the last draw of the World Youth Championship, then Slovakia confidently won with a score of 3:0. That tournament ended for the Slovak team at the quarterfinal stage, where the team only lost to Finland in overtime.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team lost six matches in a row
- In the last three matches, the nominal guests have not conceded less than five goals

2.60Tip and bets
In this confrontation, we will give our preference to Slovakia. Seven of the last eight face-to-face matches were won by the Slovaks, and at the last World Championship, the team from Eastern Europe performed more successfully, taking second place in the group. The last friendly matches were not in favor of the nominal guests, but it is obvious that the motivation for the World Championship matches will be much more serious, so we expect the Slovak team to win its first victory in the tournament.
Our prediction is Slovakia victory in the match at 1.98
Bet on total
The teams are not much different in terms of their level of play, so the match will probably be tough. In recent matches, the opponents have scored quite rarely, and in the last four face-to-face matches, the teams have never managed to score more than five goals. Most likely, this match will be a tough fight, but without many scoring chances.
Our prediction is total under six goals at 1.91
Bet on individual total
Slovakia hasn't been able to show its attacking prowess in recent matches, and in the last face-to-face matches against Switzerland, the Slovaks haven't scored more than three goals. Most likely, the nominal guests will focus on defense this time too.
Our prediction is Slovakia individual total under three goals at 1.75
