Switzerland vs Slovenia Matches Analysis

Switzerland Last 5 Matches:

USA 0–4 Switzerland (Friendly) Mexico 2–4 Switzerland (Friendly) Switzerland 3–1 Luxembourg (Qualifier) Northern Ireland 1–1 Switzerland (Qualifier) Spain 3–2 Switzerland (Nations League)

Switzerland have had a good last 10 games. They did lose to Spain in the Nations League, but Spain is arguably the strongest team in the world. The biggest issue with Switzerland currently is their leaky defence. 7 goals conceded in five games sis not a good look, and they kept just one clean sheet in that time.

Slovenia Last 5 Matches:

Slovenia 2–1 Bosnia and Herzegovina (Qualifier) Luxembourg 0–1 Slovenia (Qualifier) Slovenia 1–0 Slovakia (Qualifier) Slovakia 0–0 Slovenia (Qualifier) Austria 1–1 Slovenia (Nations League)

Slovenia have also performed amazingly—albeit against weaker opponents. They have won three games and drawn their other two. They have been strong at the back, conceding just two goals, but their attack is weak. Without Benjamin Sesko, they would be in big trouble.

Key Players to Watch: Switzerland vs Slovenia

Granit Xhaka (Switzerland) – Picking between Xhaka and Embolo was tough, but I have narrowly edged this to Xhaka. He is a formidable force in midfield, and his experience is vital to any Swiss youngster breaking through into the team. Benjamin Sesko (Slovenia) – Once again, a very hard pick. I nearly chose captain and goalkeeper Jan Oblak, simply because he is arguably Slovenia’s greatest ever footballer, but Benjamin Sesko has already played 41 times, scoring 16 goals.
