Slovenia vs FYR Macedonia Preview
Slovenia's recent run has been inconsistent, with two defeats and a win in their last four outings. The absence of Benjamin Sesko is a significant blow; the Manchester United striker has withdrawn due to a shin problem, and his repeated unavailability has created tension between club and country. Manager Matías Kek will need to find alternative firepower. Still, playing at home gives Slovenia a platform to impose themselves in this Group B1 fixture.
North Macedonia arrive in genuinely alarming form. Their last five matches across all competitions paint a grim picture: just one goal scored against a staggering fifteen conceded. That defensive fragility has left them searching for answers. Their recent sequence includes three defeats and a draw, offering little confidence heading into this away fixture. The historical head-to-head record slightly favours them, but current momentum tells an entirely different story.
Slovenia's home advantage becomes a critical factor here. North Macedonia's defensive record over their last five matches is nothing short of catastrophic: 15 goals conceded while managing just a single goal in reply. That kind of fragility makes backing the hosts at 1.68 a reasonable proposition, even accounting for Slovenia's own patchy sequence of results.
The absence of Benjamin Sesko through a shin problem is a genuine blow for Slovenia. The striker's withdrawal removes their most potent attacking threat, and the reported tension between his club and the national setup adds an unwelcome distraction. Still, North Macedonia's form offers little to suggest they can capitalise on this loss, having drawn twice and lost twice in their recent four fixtures.
Historically, North Macedonia hold a narrow advantage in head-to-head meetings, but context matters more than distant records. Slovenia playing at home against a side shipping goals at an alarming rate tilts the balance firmly. The under 2.5 goals market at 1.63 also warrants attention given North Macedonia's chronic inability to score. A home win remains the primary selection at 1.68.
