Before Euro 2024, the teams had met only 4 times, with the last 2 matches taking place in 2022 in the UEFA Nations League. It is worth noting that both were quite entertaining. In the first encounter, Serbia destroyed Slovenia with a 4-1 score, while the second match ended in a high-scoring draw (2-2).

Slovenia

Leading up to the start in Germany, the Slovenian national team entered a series of six matches without defeat and managed to continue their success after their match with Denmark (1-1). In that encounter, the opponent understandably had the upper hand, opened the scoring, had more chances, but Jan Oblak played reliably in goal as usual. In the second half, forwards Shesko and Sporar put pressure on the Danish defense, and the equalizing goal was scored by Janza with a deflected long-range shot.

Earning one point allows Matjaz Kek’s team to aim for further contention for a playoff spot. Undoubtedly, the team is counting on achieving a positive result today, especially with their final match against England looming. It’s worth noting that Slovenia last played against Serbia in the UEFA Nations League in 2022. Back then, the matches were highly entertaining: Slovenia lost away 1-4 and drew at home 2-2.

Serbia

Leading up to the start in Germany, the Slovenian national team had gone unbeaten in a series of six matches and continued their success after drawing with Denmark (1-1). In that match, Denmark understandably dominated, took the lead, and had more chances, but Jan Oblak performed reliably in goal as usual. In the second half, forwards Shesko and Sporar pressured the Danish defense, and Janza scored the equalizer with a deflected long-range shot.

Earning one point allows Matjaz Kek’s team to continue their pursuit of a playoff spot. The team is undoubtedly aiming for a positive result today, especially with their final match against England approaching. It’s worth noting that Slovenia last played against Serbia in the UEFA Nations League in 2022. Those matches were quite entertaining: Slovenia lost 1-4 away and drew 2-2 at home.

Prediction

The upcoming match holds significant importance not only in terms of its impact on reaching the playoffs but also because it involves national teams from the former Yugoslavia. Since gaining independence, they have played four matches against each other, with goals exchanged in three of those encounters. Both teams boast excellent attacking players, although in the first round, neither the Slovenians nor the Serbians were allowed much room by the Danes and the English to showcase their offensive prowess. We anticipate a different style of play today, more open and potentially high-scoring.

Our prediction - Both teams to score at odds of 1.93.

Bookmakers clearly favor Serbia in the upcoming game, although the national team doesn't often delight its fans in major tournaments, and recent friendly matches have lacked stability. Slovenia has a well-balanced squad, with Jan Oblak performing solidly in goal. Currently, the Slovenians are unbeaten in seven consecutive matches, and we do not expect this streak to end today in Munich.

Second prediction - Slovenia to not lose at odds of 2.05.
