Personal analysis: The overall strength of the Slovakia U21 team is significantly different from that of the strong teams. Most of the players in the team have not played in professional games. The players have a certain gap with the professional teams in terms of physical confrontation and speed ability. The cooperation ability and tacit understanding between the offensive players are relatively poor. In addition to short passes, there are not many other offensive methods. In the entire offensive end, except for Kaprarik and Sol, whose finishing ability is quite good, the rest of the players basically have no particularly outstanding performance on the field. The team's offensive rhythm and style of play on the field are significantly different from those of the adult team. Most of the players in the Spanish team have already played in the professional league, and many of them are already the main players of the team. The offensive method on the field is not significantly different from that of the professional team. The team emphasizes passing and controlling and intercepting and pressing in the midfield area, but the physical confrontation and blocking in the back line are relatively average, and the protection ability in the front area is not strong. Joseph in the center position and Vega in the front midfielder position are the main finishing points of the team. Both of them have good technical ability at their feet. Rodriguez and Morillo in the wing position are also qualified in advancing and distributing the ball. The overall framework and playing style of the team are similar to those of the Spanish national team.

In terms of the strength of the team lineup, there is a clear gap between Slovakia U21 and Spain U21. Most of Slovakia U21's shots are long shots near the penalty area. Once the rhythm of the front court is accelerated, the success rate of passing the ball will obviously decline. When facing a team with stronger interception and pressing ability, they can play a relatively smooth attack. Spain U21 is already very mature in technology and tactics. The only flaw is the player confrontation and protection ability in front of the goal. At present, there is a lack of absolute thigh-level players on the front line. In this game, Slovakia U21's home handicap of 1.25 teams is reasonable. As long as Spain U21 takes it seriously, it will not be a big problem to kick through. The score is expected to be 0-3 or 1-3.
