Scotland vs Slovenia

Scotland enter this fixture after a mixed run of results, having lost heavily at home to Switzerland before securing a victory against FYR Macedonia in their most recent outing. Their home form has been challenging, with four losses in their last five matches at this venue. Slovenia also experienced a defeat in their latest match, falling to Switzerland away, though they did record a home win against FYR Macedonia shortly before that. With two wins, two draws, and two losses across their recent fixtures, their form reflects a degree of inconsistency. Both sides are currently level on points in the competition standings.

There is little history between these two sides, with their only recent meeting resulting in a goalless draw in the UEFA Nations League.

• Scotland and Slovenia are level on points in the competition table.
• Scotland have struggled at home recently, losing four of their last five matches.
• Slovenia have found success in the second half of matches, scoring more goals after the interval.
• The two sides played out a goalless draw when they last met in September.

With both teams tied on points and having shared the spoils in their only recent meeting, this fixture appears finely balanced. Scotland will be looking to improve their recent home record, while Slovenia will aim to build on their competitive showing so far. Given the narrow margins in their previous encounter and their shared position in the table, a closely contested draw is a plausible outcome.

No absences were reported.
