Croatia will look to make amends for a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Belgium when they take on neighbouring Slovenia at Gradski stadion Varazdin in Sunday's friendly. With their World Cup opener against England fast approaching, Zlatko Dalic is expected to make several changes to his lineup. Osasuna striker Ante Budimir is widely tipped to return to the starting XI, while veteran midfielder Luka Modric could be rested to preserve his energy for the tournament. Despite the recent setback, Croatia have enjoyed an excellent run of form, winning seven of their last ten matches and averaging 2.2 goals per game.
Slovenia, meanwhile, failed to secure qualification for the World Cup finals and enter this match with mixed form. The visitors have won only three of their last ten matches and have struggled in attack, averaging just 0.9 goals per game. Much of Slovenia's threat will come from Slovan Bratislava forward Andraz Sporar, who remains their key attacking weapon. Worryingly for the visitors, they have failed to score in half of their last ten outings.
Given Croatia's superior quality and stronger recent record, Home Win should be considered, alongside Croatia to Win to Nil, alongside Under 3.5 goals (Slovenia's matches tend to be relatively low-scoring, with an average of just 2.1 total goals per game).
This match will be played on Sunday 7 June 2026 at 19:45.
