Slovenia vs Finland - 14/10/2023
2922
Group H is proving to be one of the toughest to call in 2024 European Championship qualifying and on the 14th of October we have a key fixture between Slovenia and Finland.
The match will be played at the Stadion Stožice and the hosts are currently top of the group on 13 points while the visitors are in third place on 12 points, having each played 6 games.
Slovenia come into the match on the back of a 4-0 win at San Marino in 2024 European Championship qualifying.
It was a match Slovenia were expected to win against one of the minnows in the competition and they wasted no time by opening a 2-0 lead after 16 minutes. Slovenia scored two further goals in the second half to claim maximum points.
The win at San Marino means Slovenia are undefeated in their last 3 fixtures, all of which have been in European Championship qualifying. Slovenia were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Denmark and recorded a 4-2 home victory over Northern Ireland.
Trends show Slovenia have lost only 1 of their last 12 matches, including friendlies. The defeat came away from home against Finland in European Championship qualification.
Slovenia are unbeaten in 26 of their last 30 home matches in all competitions. They are undefeated in 10 of their last 11 home European Championship qualifiers and have seen under 2.5 goals in 9 of those 11 games.
Finland make the trip to the Stadion Stožice having lost 1-0 at home to Denmark in their most recent game, which was in European Championship qualifying.
The only goal of the game was scored in the 86th minute and Finland were hugely disappointed to concede such a late goal that lost the match.
The defeat to Denmark is the only loss in the last 5 games for Finland and they have won 4 of their last 5 matches, all of which have been in European Championship qualifying. The wins have come over Slovenia and San Marino at home plus Northern Ireland and Kazakhstan away.
Trends show Finland have won 6 of their last 9 European Championship qualifiers. They have won each of their last 2 on the road in the competition but have lost 3 of their 5 most recent away European Championship qualifying fixtures.
There have been under 2.5 goals scored in 7 of Finland’s last 10 away European Championship qualifiers.
Team news and Slovenia will be looking towards young striker Benjamin Šeško for goals. Jan Oblak of Atletico Madrid is the goalkeeper and captain.
Finland can call upon the experience of Teemu Pukki and Joel Pohjanpalo in attack. Like Slovenia, Finland’s captain is a goalkeeper and Lukas Hradecky plays for Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga.
This is a tough match to call in a close group. We expect to see under 2.5 goals scored and with both teams aiming to keep things tight, this game could end level at 1-1. That is a result which could benefit Denmark more than Slovenia and Finland.
