Slovenia vs Portugal Preview 


Slovenia’s most recent appearance against Malta was quite disappointing, while Portugal look unstoppable at this point. Hosts deserve some respect though due to their good run in the qualifiers, so an away win & BTTS is the best bet.

Head to Head 


This is going to be the first head to head match between Slovenia and Portugal. 

Slovenia Form 


This upcoming match against Portugal is going to be the third international friendly for Slovenia in 2024. They kicked things off with a 1-0 win against the United States, Nejc Gradisar being the sole scorer. 

The Dragons had a disappointing appearance a couple of days ago, being held to a 2-2 draw by Malta, Andraz Sporar breaking the deadlock in the first half while Benjamin Sesko scored a late equalizer. 

Slovenia qualified for the upcoming EURO 2024 as 2nd placed team from Group H, finishing behind Denmark, ahead of Kazakhstan, Finland, Northern Ireland and San Marino with 22 points from 10 matches (seven wins, one draw, two defeats). 

Slovenia Squad & Team News 


Goalkeepers: Jan Oblak (captain), Vid Belec, Igor Vekic
Defenders: Zan Karnicnik, Jure Balkovec, Miha Blazic, Jaka Bijol, Erik Janza, Petar Stojanovic, Vanja Drkusic, David Brekalo
Midfielders: Jon Gorenc Stankovic, Benjamin Verbic, Sandi Lovric, Timi Max Elsnik, Jasmin Kurtic
Tomi Horvat, Adam Gnezda Cerin
Forwards: Andraz Sporar, Benjamin Sesko, Zan Celar, Jan Mlakar, Zan Vipotnik, Nino Zugelj

Jasmin Kurtic has the highest number of appearances for the national team on this roster (90).

Andraz Sporar is the top scorer with 11 goals in 50 matches.

Matevz Vidovsek is injured. Miha Zajc and Domen Crnigoj were not called up.

Portugal Form 


Portugal’s most recent performance in a friendly match against Sweden 5-2 was brilliant, having a 3-0 lead at half-time Rafael Leao, Matheus Nunes and Bruno Fernandes hitting the target, while Bruma and Goncalo Ramos finished the job later. 

The Seleção won all ten European Championship qualifiers, the first six victories coming to nil. They beat Slovakia 3-2 but immediately got back to keeping clean sheets. 

Portugal won 5-0 in Bosnia-Herzegovina where Cristiano Ronaldo scored the opening two goals. They then won 2-0 in Liechtenstein with Ronaldo and João Cancelo on target. 

Roberto Martinez’s side last played in November, a slow start before securing a 2-0 victory against Iceland with Bruno Fernandes and Ricardo Horta on the score sheet. 

Portugal Squad & Team News 


Goalkeepers: Rui Patrício, Diogo Costa, José Sá
Defenders: Pepe, Danilo Pereira, Rúben Dias, João Cancelo, Nélson Semedo, Nuno Mendes, Diogo Dalot, António Silva, Gonçalo Inácio, João Mário, Toti Gomes, Diogo Leite
Midfielders: Bernardo Silva, Bruno Fernandes, Rúben Neves, João Palhinha, Otávio, Vitinha, Matheus Nunes, João Neves
Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo, João Félix, Rafael Leão, Bruma, Gonçalo Ramos, Dany Mota, Francisco Conceição, Jota Silva

Raphaël Guerreiro and Francisco Trincão were called up before withdrawing due to injury.

Renato Sanches, Diogo Jota and Ricardo Horta miss out.

João Cancelo, Diogo Dalot, Danilo, Vitinha, João Neves, Otávio, João Félix and Cristiano Ronaldo join the squad after the Sweden match.

Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 128 goals in 205 appearances.

Verdict

Portugal have been in red-hot form for a while, winning their last 11 matches. I will back them to make it 12 in a row but also to concede at least one goal against Slovenia.
