Our prediction for this Euro 2020 match:
Slovenia
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-1
Israel
Stadio Stozice will host Monday’s football game between Slovenia and Israel. The Slovenians proved their worth in back-to-back wins over Latvia and Poland and seeing that a victory over Israel could see them overtake Austria in second position in Group G, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the hosts. Matjaz Kek’s troops are brimming with confidence ahead of Monday’s qualifier and we predict that they are going to leave their hearts on the field.
The Israelis, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 4-0 loss to Poland and they head into the match following a 1-1 draw with North Macedonia. Despite dropping four points in total in previous two qualifying games, the visitors are still in the race for automatic qualification for the 2020 European Championship. However, seeing that in-form Slovenia are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we are going to put our money Josip Ilicic and Co.
Highlighted Player (Luka Zahovic):
Luka Zahovic is the son of legendary Slovenian footballer Zlatko Zahovic. Luka Zahovic played for the likes of Valencia, Benfica and Pobrezje during his youth career before joining Maribor in 2009. The talented attacker, who was born in Guimaraes, Portugal on November 15, 1995, scored 13 goals in 45 appearances for Slovenian side in the national championship and in 2015 he moved to Netherlands, signing a three-year-old deal with Heerenveen.
In August, 2016, he returned to Maribor, signing a loan deal with his boyhood club and in May, 2017 he signed a permanent deal with the Violets. Speaking of his international career, Luka Zahovic represented Slovenia U17 at the 2012 European Championship and it has to be noted that he found the net in a 3-1 defeat to Netherlands.
Unlike his father, Luka’s preferred foot is right. His main position is centre-forward, but he is used as a secondary striker as well. Luka Zahovic has a deal with Maribor which should expire on May 31, 2020.
Highlighted Team (Israel):
Israel are the direct successor of the Mandatory Palestine national football team. The Israelis received full UEFA membership in 1994, 20 years after leaving AFC and they have been facing European sides in the World Cup qualifiers ever since. Israel participated at the 1970 FIFA World Cup finals in Mexico, but they failed to make it to the knockout stages of the showpiece tournament.
The Israeli national football team have yet to qualify for the final stages of the European Championship, but they made it to the quarter-finals of the Olympics on two occasions (1968, 1976). Israel play their home games at both Sammy Ofer Stadium in Haifa and Teddy Stadium in Jerusalem.
Yossi Benayoun is the most famous and the most capped Israeli footballer and it has to be noted that the pacey midfielder played for the likes of Racing Santander, West Ham United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea in the past. Israel play their home games in blue shirts and blue shorts, whilst they wear white shirts and white shorts when playing on the travels.
