A match between the national teams of Slovenia and Serbia will be held in the 2nd round of the Euro on June 20, 2024. The nominal guests absolutely must not lose again, but Kek’s team would also like to take the win.
Slovenia vs Serbia: key statistics and trends
- Slovenia is unbeaten in 6 matches in a row.
- Serbia cannot win twice in a row this year.
- Slovenia has scored at least once in its 12 previous matches.
- Slovenia wins the first half in 72% of matches, Serbia does the same in 40% of confrontations.
Slovenia – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Boys” are holding their first tournament since the World Cup 2010. Finally, they managed to confidently overcome the qualification last year. Only Denmark was stronger then, and the remaining 8 matches brought 7 victories (the only misfire happened in Finland).
Having secured their place at the Euro, in 2024 the Slovenes actively held friendly matches. And they were successful overall, winning three times, but at the same time they ended in effective draws with modest Malta and Bulgaria. At the championship we started with Denmark, and there, having conceded to Eriksen, they did not give up, and did what the next opponent failed to do: in the end they punished the favourite for pragmatism, albeit due to luck - the goal was secured not by the power of Yanzhi’s long-range strike, but by a fatal for Schmeichel there is a rebound.
Serbia – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Eagles” qualified for the final tournament again. It is reasonable to mention that the event happened without the former “brilliance” – Dragan Stojkovic’s wards lost both matches to Hungary, but, that is the most important, they were ahead of everyone else, including neighbouring Montenegro.
Stability has not increased in 2024 either. There happened a 0-4 score in the struggle with the Russians and a 1-0 result in the confrontation with Cyprus in March; the team managed to lose with a 1-2 score to Austria and defeated the Swedes at the beginning of June. Speaking about the Euro battle against England, everything went according to the opponent’s scenario. Southgate wanted a 1-0 result and his players achieved it without any problems.

It’s hard to believe that it will be so easy for Stojkovic’s team to justify its status as the pair’s favourite. We expect that “the Boys” will not lose to their neighbour (odd: 2.02).
