Prediction: 1-1
Slovenia
Tehelne pole will host Thursday’s Nations League game between Slovakia and Slovenia, the two teams that are eyeing a spot in Group B. Slovakia aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Estonia, but this match will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. A man to watch in the home team will be Napoli midfielder Stanislav Lobotka, who has 65 caps for the Slovakia national team.
The Slovenians, on the other hand, did well to hold Austria to a 1-1 draw in their last Nations League game and, no doubt, they would be happy with the share of spoils once again. As Slovenia are likely to adopt a cautious approach in the first leg, there is a big value in betting on under 2.5 goals. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in five of the previous five meetings between the two national teams. Panathinaikos midfielder Adam Gnezda Cerin misses out through suspension for the visiting side.
Highlighted Team (Slovenia):
Slovenia have been competing on the international stage following the split of Yugoslavia in 1991. The Slovenians were outclassed by France in their first unofficial match (0-5), whilst they shared the spoils with Estonia in their first official game (1-1).
The former Yugoslav republic participated at three major football tournaments, with the team making it to the FIFA World Cup finals in Japan and South Korea (2002) and South Africa 2010, whilst booking their place at the Euro 2000 which was hosted by Netherlands and Belgium. Slovenia, though, have yet to make it to the knockout stages of the major tournament and that remains their unfulfilled dream.
Srecko Katanec and Zlatko Zahovic are regarded as the most famous footballers who played for the Slovenian national football team and they were part of Slovenia’s “Golden generation”. The Slovenians, who recorded their biggest win against Oman in 1999, welcome their rivals at Ljudski vrt in Stozice and the capacity of the venue is 12.702.
