Watch and bet on Macedonia v Slovakia live at bet365
Slovakia travel to Skopje tonight to take on Macedonia.
Slovakia saw their hopes of qualifying for Euro 2012 die on Friday night, when they were beaten 1-0 by Russia in Zilina and head coach Vladimir Weiss must now pick up his players for what is, essentially, a dead rubber on Tuesday against Macedonia.
It is 5/6 at
bet365, that the visitors win in Skopje and that price looks very fair. Morale will, of course, be low in the Slovakia squad but they are a young team who have a lot of talent. The likes of Marek Hamsik, Vladimir Weiss and Miroslav Stoch will have plenty of opportunities to play at major tournaments in the future and the best way for them to get over their disappointment is to get back to winning ways.
Macedonia are 11/4 to pile more misery on the visitors but their meek performance in the 4-1 defeat to Armenia on Friday suggested that the Red Lions have already checked out of this Euro 2012 campaign. Captain and record goalscorer Goran Pandev isn't in the squad for Tuesday's match and without him the home side have virtually no goal threat.
