【World Qualifiers】Slovenia vs. Sweden is eager to advance to the 2026 World Cup. Slovenia will face Sweden at home People's Garden Stadium, which is also the first group match between the two teams in the qualifiers. Prior to this game, both teams had a streak of wins in the warm-up match in June. Slovenia defeated Luxembourg and Bosnia and Herzegovina, while Sweden defeated Hungary and Algeria. Slovenia has failed to advance in the past three World Cups, and the 2024 European Cup is their first major intercontinental event since 2000. Although head coach Cork is happy to see his team conced only one goal in their last four games, they have failed to break through the opponent's goal in two games in 90 minutes. Slovenia has remained unbeaten for five consecutive games and has performed quite tenaciously at home. They lost only one of their last 18 home games and won 11 games.

However, they were completely at a disadvantage in the confrontation against Sweden. In the last four encounters, they only got two draws and two losses. The last time he lost 0-2 to his opponent at home.

Sweden reached the quarterfinals in the 2018 World Cup, but they failed to qualify for the 2022 World Cup and were eliminated by Poland in the March 2022 play-off.

Sweden team led by Thomason has performed quite well recently, with 8 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the last 10 games. In particular, they have very high offensive efficiency. They have scored 30 goals in their last 10 games. Except for one game, they have scored at least two goals in the remaining nine games. However, the defensive end has a lot of loopholes. There has only been a clean sheet for the opponent in the last 4 games and has also lost 5 goals.

Slovenia's Manchester United striker Benjamin Cesco should occupy a starting position, while Danier Stelm and Peter Stoyanovich will play on the left and right wings. Zelicovic is also selected for the national team and he may be in the midfield with Petrovic.

Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Oblak remains the first choice for goalkeepers, with centre-backs Jaka Bjöll and David Brekalo taking over the back.

Sweden has recruited Liverpool center Alexander Isak, but considering that he did not participate in preseason training due to his refusal to train with Newcastle to force a transfer to Liverpool and his condition is not guaranteed, and it is still unknown whether he can start.

And Arsenal striker Yorkez should be the starting lineup. If Isaac can only sit on the bench, Benjamin Nigren is expected to enter the starting lineup.

Both teams are in good shape. Slovenia's home performance is worthy of recognition, while Sweden is better in ranking, recent performance and historical confrontations. This time, the concessions were just right, and the Demon Sword was more inclined to Slovenia to get points at home.
