Slovenia vs Sweden Predictions

• Both teams have scored in four of Slovenia’s last five matches.
• Sweden have failed to score in their last four and will want to end that run here.
• The hosts have conceded in five of their previous seven games.

Hosts on an impressive run

Slovenia are the underdogs in this group but Matjaz Kek will be keen to oversee his side take the next step in their development. However, they often flatter to deceive in fixtures where they’re favoured to get a result. They arrive into this clash off the back of a run of four matches unbeaten and they’ll be eager to extend that to five games when they take on Sweden.

The visitors are looking to get things back on track after suffering the disappointment of failing to reach the finals of the World Cup. Boss Janne Andersson will be desperate to put the wind back in their sails after a series of disappointing results that ultimately led to them bowing out of contention for the winter tournament. They’ve failed to score in their last four matches and that’s a run they’ll be desperate to put an end to here.

Sweden to end baron spell

Despite Sweden’s woes up top, we think they’ll end their baron run in front of goal, but we also think the hosts can cause them problems and as a result, we’ll side with both teams to hit the back of the net.
