Slovenia Form and Team News
Slovenia have collected seven points from their opening four Nations League matches, leaving them second in Group B1. Bostjan Cesar’s side are unbeaten at home in the competition, having drawn 0-0 with Scotland and beaten North Macedonia 2-0 without conceding a goal.
Their most recent outing brought an important 2-1 away victory over Scotland, helping them recover from a defeat by the same scoreline against Switzerland. With only two group matches remaining, Slovenia need another positive result to maintain their promotion ambitions, as they still face a trip to North Macedonia in their final fixture.
Aljosa Matko has been an important attacking contributor, recording two goals and two assists in the Nations League. Slovenia will also look to Zan Vipotnik for goals after the Swansea City striker started against Scotland, but they face a difficult challenge against a Swiss defence that has conceded only once in four group games.

Switzerland Form and Team News
Switzerland have been the dominant force in Group B1, winning all four matches while scoring 11 goals and conceding just one. Murat Yakin’s side have already guaranteed a top-two finish and are well placed to secure automatic promotion back to League A.
The Swiss began their campaign with consecutive 3-0 away victories over North Macedonia and Scotland before beating Slovenia 2-1 and North Macedonia 3-0 at home in October. Their impressive form follows a run to the quarter-finals of the 2026 World Cup, where they were eliminated by Argentina. Switzerland have now won eight of their last nine matches in all competitions.
Dan Ndoye has been particularly influential, contributing two goals and three assists in the Nations League, while Zeki Amdouni remains a major attacking threat. The striker has scored 14 goals in 37 international appearances, and Switzerland will be confident of extending their winning run against a Slovenia side they have historically dominated.

Slovenia vs. Switzerland Prediction: Swiss to continue winning streak
Switzerland have scored at least two goals in each of their four Nations League matches, including three in three of those fixtures. Slovenia have also found the net in their last three games, making "Over 2.5 goals in total" an interesting option, particularly after the reverse fixture produced three goals.
The visitors have demonstrated their ability to take control of matches early, especially in their convincing victories over North Macedonia and Scotland. With Switzerland expected to dominate possession and create chances, "Switzerland to be leading at half-time" is another market worth considering.
Our main prediction is Switzerland to win. Yakin’s side have a perfect record in the group, a strong recent head-to-head advantage and the opportunity to secure automatic promotion. Slovenia have been competitive at home, but the visitors’ attacking quality and defensive consistency should give them the edge.
