Switzerland welcome Slovenia to the Swissporarena with a perfect record and a goal difference that already reads plus six after just two rounds. Slovenia sit second in the group on four points, unbeaten but short of firepower in attack. The sides met twice already this year in World Cup qualifying, and Switzerland won both encounters by an aggregate of 3-0, a detail that colors how we view this rematch.
Zeki Amdouni has been the standout attacker for the hosts, netting three goals in his last two caps while also setting one up. On the other side, goalkeeper Jan Oblak remains Slovenia’s single biggest asset, having already made six saves across his last two appearances and keeping the visitors competitive against stronger opposition than this one.
Hot stat: Switzerland have scored six goals in their last five matches without picking up a single yellow card, a combination of attacking output and discipline that Slovenia, with four cards and only two goals in the same span, simply cannot match right now.

Switzerland vs Slovenia prediction
We lean toward Switzerland handling this comfortably, but at 1.34 for the straight win there is little juice left on the table. The better angle, in our view, is backing Switzerland on the Asian handicap or combining the win with BTTS No. Slovenia have failed to score in two of their last three outings, and Switzerland’s defense has conceded nothing in their last two matches either.
Switzerland’s pass accuracy sits above 91% over their last five games, a number that lets them dominate possession and starve opponents of the ball. Slovenia foul more often (23 times in five matches against Switzerland’s 20) and pick up cards more frequently too, four compared to zero for the hosts. That discipline gap tends to show up late in matches, when tired legs start reaching for the shirt instead of the ball, and it usually works in Switzerland’s favor on the scoreboard.

Team Analysis
Switzerland’s last outing was a 3-0 win over Scotland, their second consecutive clean-sheet victory by that exact score after beating North Macedonia the same way. Murat Yakin’s side has won both matches played in the last 30 days and seven of twelve this year, a 58% win rate that undersells how dominant they have looked defensively of late, having not conceded in either Nations League fixture so far. In our preview of Scotland vs Switzerland we backed a comfortable Swiss win with goals and BTTS No, and the 3-0 scoreline delivered exactly that.
Slovenia arrive having beaten North Macedonia 2-0 last time out, following a scoreless draw with Scotland before that. Bostjan Cesar’s team has taken four points from two Nations League matches, a solid return, though the broader picture this year shows just two wins in six games and a 33% win rate. Their attack has struggled for consistency, scoring only twice in five recent outings. In our preview of Slovenia vs North Macedonia we predicted a narrow Slovenian win to nil under 2.5 goals, and the 2-0 result backed that call up.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Switzerland the favourite
- Moneyline Switzerland 1.35 | Slovenia 9.00
- Draw 4.33
The market gives Switzerland roughly a 70% implied chance of victory, and we think that figure is fair rather than inflated. Slovenia’s away form has been middling all year, and the gap in squad depth between the two sides is wide enough that bookmakers are right to push Switzerland this low. Value hunters should look past the moneyline toward goal-based markets instead, where the odds compilers seem to have priced in a tighter affair than recent history suggests.

Possible Starting Lineups
Switzerland possible starting eleven
- GK: Gregor Kobel
- DF: Nico Elvedi, Manuel Akanji, Zachary Athekame, Ricardo Rodríguez, Sascha Britschgi
- MF: Remo Freuler, Ardon Jashari, Johan Manzambi, Michel Aebischer
- FW: Zeki Amdouni
Yakin’s preferred 5-4-1 shape gives Switzerland extra bodies at the back while still funneling service to Amdouni up top. Dan Ndoye could easily rotate into one of the midfield slots given his assist numbers, but we expect the core group above to start. Watch Amdouni closely, three goals and an assist in two caps makes him the man Slovenia need to shut down first.
Slovenia possible starting eleven
- GK: Jan Oblak
- DF: Jaka Bijol, Žan Karničnik, Erik Janža, David Brekalo
- MF: Adam Gnezda Čerin, Sandi Lovric
- FW: Danijel Sturm, Aljosa Matko, Tjas Begic, Zan Vipotnik
Cesar sticks with the 4-2-3-1 that has carried Slovenia to four points so far, trusting Oblak behind a settled back four. Vipotnik leads the line with support from Sturm, Matko and Begic just behind him, though none of that trio has scored freely this year. Oblak remains the player to watch, his six saves in two games tell you exactly how much Slovenia will need him here.

TipsGG Match Prediction
We predict Switzerland to win this one, likely by a two or three-goal margin given how their last two performances have both ended 3-0. Slovenia’s scoring troubles make BTTS No an attractive lean, and the corner count should push well past 9.5 given both sides generated eleven corners apiece across their last five fixtures. Perhaps Slovenia manage a goal off a set piece late, Erik Janža and David Brekalo both carry decent delivery numbers, but on the balance of everything above, Switzerland should get the job done at home.
