Slovakia U19 vs France U19 Live, As a result, hosts Slovakia will be looking to get off to a quick start in a tough section that also includes young Italian and Romanian stars, and will ultimately aim to surpass their best result at this level of UEFA competition – third place, in 2002.
Albert Rusnak’s side wasn’t obliged to take part in qualifying as the host nation, so they will kick off the finals, still lacking experience in competitive football as a unit.
Their last run-out came in May when Rusnak saw his troops slip to back-to-back defeats against Switzerland, but Slovakia needs to step up in class against even more talented opponents this weekend.

Although many members of the France squad arrive in Slovakia with limited club experience, winger Alan Virginius – who scored five times in 31 appearances for Sochaux last season – is a regular in Ligue 2.
Slovakia U19 vs France U19 Live Ajaccio’s Tayrik Arconte is also expected to start up front, with Parma striker Ange-Yoan Bonny also in contention to start on Saturday.
The Slovak side, meanwhile, is also mostly home-based, with most players plying their trade at Fortuna Liga clubs Zilina or Trencin.
16-year-old winger Leo Sauer is among the youngest participants in the competition this year, as is Hoffenheim prospect Milan Rehus, who could start in midfield.
The hosts will be led by their star man, Zilina center-forward Timotej Jambor.

Slovakia U19 vs France U19 Live Albert Rusnak’s side wasn’t obliged to take part in qualifying as the host nation, so they will kick off the finals, still lacking experience in competitive football as a unit.
Their last run-out came in May when Rusnak saw his men slip to back-to-back defeats against Switzerland, but Slovakia needs to step up in class against even more talented opponents this weekend.
Among the favorites to lift the trophy next month – particularly in the absence of defending champions Spain – France got through qualifying without too much trouble, winning all three of their first-round matches in the lead of Group 7 ahead of Albania, North Macedonia, and Serbia, before also taking the next step.
In the Elite round, Landry Chauvin’s team won Group 2, having beaten Sweden and Bosnia and Herzegovina but lost to the Czech Republic; Rennes striker Matthis Edline is their top scorer throughout the process, with four goals.
Previously champions at the Under-19 level on three occasions – in 2005, 2010, and 2016 – France has a squad that will certainly be heavily watched by Europe’s top clubs this summer, but the next generation of Les Bleus will need to play collectively to extract themselves from a competitive group.
Having tackled the hosts on Saturday, they next face Romania and Italy in quick succession, but having won six of their seven matches since last October, the Chauvin boys surely have no fears.
