---------------------------
Slovenia and Sweden open their World Cup 2026 qualifying campaign with a match in Ljubljana, both coming off recent wins—Slovenia over Bosnia & Herzegovina and Sweden against Algeria.
Team Analysis:
Slovenia, who haven’t qualified for the last three World Cups and have struggled against Sweden historically, remain strong at home with only one loss in 18 matches. They’ve been defensively solid but lack scoring power recently. Sweden, despite missing the 2022 World Cup, have been prolific offensively and are in great form, winning most of their recent games and performing well on the road.
Player Situation:
Slovenia will likely start Benjamin Sesko upfront with support from Danijel Sturm and Petar Stojanovic, while Jan Oblak remains goalkeeper behind defenders Jaka Bijol and David Brekalo. Sweden’s lineup may feature Viktor Gyokeres as the main striker, with Alexander Isak uncertain due to fitness issues, possibly starting on the bench, and Yasin Ayari expected to play defensive midfield.
Result Prediction:
Sweden's recent strong form and solid away record give them confidence, but Slovenia could capitalize on Sweden's defensive weaknesses to secure a draw in their opening qualifier.
Predicted Result: Slovenia 1-1 Sweden.
