Our Prediction for the Match Slovenia vs Austria
The "Boys" finally showcased good football in the last cycle after a long hiatus. They earned 22 points in ten qualifying matches—equal to Denmark and, most importantly, four more than Finland and Kazakhstan. "Das Team" once again proved their strength in the Euro format: while they have missed the World Cup for a quarter of a century, they have become regular participants in continental tournaments.
Both teams played in the Euros this summer. The Slovenians stubbornly drew against Denmark, Serbia, and England in the group stage, which was enough to advance to the playoffs, and then against Portugal in the Round of 16. However, they couldn't score against Diogo Costa in regular time or in the penalty shootout, missing all three attempts, which prematurely ended their campaign with a victory for the "Chosen Ones." The Austrians, after starting with a loss to France, went on to defeat Poland and the Netherlands, advancing from the group stage. However, they were later eliminated by Turkey, with Demiral scoring twice from set pieces.
Both coaches have retained their positions, and the squads remain familiar. Rangnick continues to manage without Alaba. The Slovenians will have their usual lineup, except for a few players like Verbič and Karnicnik, who were sidelined due to injury at the last moment.
