Slovakia, traditionally seen as the underdogs against Croatia, have displayed stronger recent form and results. As a result, many observers and analysts now rate Slovakia as at least equal, if not favorites, going into the upcoming match. The main conclusion is that recent performance has shifted perceptions, suggesting Slovakia could surprise Croatia and fans should expect a closely-contested encounter.

Match Preview 


The loser of this match will see their EuroVolley 2026 hopes reduced to a minimum, so the stakes are high in Goteborg. Slovakia won the last H2H in May 2025 (3-1). 

Croatia Struggling to Find Rhythm 


As expected, Croatia were not given much space in their EuroVolley 2026 opening clash against Italy, suffering a convincing 3-0 defeat, although they offered solid resistance in the second and third sets. 

A slightly worse performance was seen on Sunday afternoon, once again losing in straight sets to France while scoring just 55 points. 

They competed in the European League last season and failed to achieve significant success, finishing 11th with a 3-3 record. 

Slovakia Grabbed One Point


Slovakia had a disastrous start to EuroVolley 2026 on Friday, losing to France in straight sets while scoring just 47 points in total. 

A much better performance was seen in the second round against group hosts Sweden, forcing a tiebreaker and losing 3-2 but at least securing their first point. 

Their results in recent friendlies were mixed, losing to Slovenia 3-1, then drawing 2-2 against the same opponent, while wrapping up preparations with back-to-back wins over Spain 3-1 and 3-2.

Verdict

Speaking of their recent form and results, Slovakia have shown more than Croatia, so I don't view them as underdogs here.
