THE PREDICTION

A close encounter is likely here in Ljubljana as Slovenia host World Cup runners-up Croatia in Group H. Zlatko Dalic’s side head into these World Cup European Qualifiers as favourites to top their group, but that won’t prove easy at all with Russia, Slovakia and their opponents here all viable threats themselves. Slovenia are unbeaten in their last six competitive games, all UEFA Nations League fixtures and head into this match in good form having not lost at home since October 2019. Croatia on the contrary, lost their last three UEFA Nations League games and a good start to this match by Slovenia could prove hugely unsettling for the visitors. Either way, little is expected to separate the two teams and under 2.5 goals may prove the shrewd play, regardless of who comes out on top.
