Slovenia vs Sweden Predictions

Our advanced algorithm analyzes over 200 data points to generate these predictions with 68% confidence in a away win. The model factors in current form, head-to-head records, player availability, and tactical matchups.

Key Players to Watch:

Jan Oblak (Slovenia) - The Atletico Madrid stalwart is regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in the world and you only have to look at his record for the national team to understand why. It's no surprise that he is trusted with the captains armband for club & country. He is the main reason Slovenia have a live chance against Sweden.

Viktor Gyökeres (Sweden) - After getting his big money move to Arsenal this summer, the big Swedish striker has yet to light up the Premier League as many expected but is only early into his Gunners career. His record with the national team is phenomenal, he bagged 9 goals in 6 appearances in their recent Nations League campaign and with Alexander Isak also part of their frontline, the Swedes can be lethal when hitting form.
