Team Form and Analysis:
Slovenia enters this match in strong form, having won their last three matches, including a 2-1 victory over Bosnia & Herzegovina. The home side has been particularly tough to beat at home, with only one loss in their last 18 matches in Ljubljana. They will be looking to capitalize on their strong home form to get their qualifying campaign off to a positive start.
Sweden, meanwhile, has been in excellent form, winning eight of their last 10 games. The visiting side has shown a potent attack, scoring at least two goals in nine of their last 10 outings. They will be looking to continue their impressive run and secure a crucial away victory to start their qualifying campaign on the right foot.
Head-to-Head:
The historical head-to-head record between these two nations is tightly contested, with Sweden holding a slight edge. They are unbeaten in their last four matches against Slovenia, with two wins and two draws. The last time the two sides met, it was a 1-1 draw in the UEFA Nations League in September 2022.
Player to Watch:
Slovenia: All eyes will be on their striker, Benjamin Šeško, who has been in sensational form for both club and country. His goal-scoring ability and relentless attacking will be a constant threat to the Swedish defense.
Sweden: The focus for Sweden will be on their in-form strikers, Viktor Gyökeres and Alexander Isak. Both players have been in sensational form for their respective clubs and are expected to be the main threats for the Swedish attack.
Prediction:
This match is shaping up to be a tight and tactical affair. While Slovenia has a strong home record, Sweden’s recent form and attacking firepower give them the edge. A hard-fought match with goals from both sides is expected. A narrow away victory for Sweden seems like a plausible outcome, but a draw is also a strong possibility.
