2079
We have three fixtures to look forward to in Group H of European Championship qualifying on the 19th of June, including the meeting between Slovenia and Denmark.
The game will be played at the Stožice Stadium in Ljubljana and the host are currently 4th in the group on 6 points while Denmark are top of the table on the same number of points.
Slovenia come into the match having suffered a 2-0 defeat in Finland on Friday night. It took just 13 minutes for Finland to open the scoring and Slovenia struggled to get back into the match. Following half time, it was Finland who scored again in the second half and the 64th minute strike was the only other goal in the game.
The defeat in Finland was the first loss in 9 fixtures in all competitions for Slovenia.They have won 4 of their 5 most recent matches, with the wins coming over Kazakhstan away and San Marino at home in European Championship qualifying plus Romania away and Montenegro at home in friendlies.
Trends show Slovenia have won 3 of their last 7 European Championship qualifying games. They have lost the other 4 matches but have been tough to beat when playing at home.
Slovenia are undefeated in 8 of their 9 most recent home European Championship qualifiers and have seen under 2.5 goals scored in 8 of those 9 games.
Denmark travel to the Stožice Stadium on the back of a narrow 1-0 home win over Northern Ireland in Group H.
Northern Ireland have a habit of making life difficult for teams in qualifying and that was the case for the Danes on Friday night but they made the breakthrough in the 47th minute to seal maximum points.
The win over Northern Ireland was crucial for Denmark because they suffered a shock 3-2 defeat at Kazakhstan in their previous European Championship qualifier.
However, they did beat Finland 3-1 at home in their opening fixture of the group thanks to two late goals.
Trends show Denmark have won only 2 of their 6 most recent fixtures in all competitions. They suffered defeats against France and Australia at the 2022 World Cup plus Kazakhstan in European Championship qualification.
Away form in European Championship qualifying shows Denmark are undefeated in 4 of their last 5 matches and 3 of those games have ended level.
Team news and Slovenia could make a couple of changes to the team that started in Finland, with Žan Vipotnik and Jan Mlakar coming into the starting XI.
Denmark are likely to go with the same starting XI from the match against Northern Ireland but Mikkel Damsgaard is pushing for a place in the team.
Denmark will not want to drop more points on the road in this group but this could be a touch match.
Slovenia are not easy to beat at home but the Danes have the quality to win this match, with just a single goal being enough for victory.
