Slovenia vs Austria Prediction & Betting Tips (6 September)

Slovenia participated in the Euro this summer but without winning a single match, while still playing a round of 16 against Portugal. Indeed, during the group stage, the Slovenes concocted three draws against Denmark 1-1, Serbia 1-1 and the Three Lions 0-0. Against the Portuguese, after a sad 0-0, it was on penalties that Jan Oblak's teammates took the door. During the previous edition of the Nations League, the Slovenes were already playing in League B but they finished in 3rd place with 6 points, only two more than Sweden, relegated. We expect better during this edition for the 52nd nation in the FIFA ranking.

Austria also has great ambitions in this League of Nations following its good performance at the Euro during the summer by reaching the stadium of the round of 16, beaten by Turkey 1-2 with a double from Demiral. It will be recalled that the Austrians beat Poland 1-3 and the Netherlands 2-3, allowing them to take 1st place in Group D in which France notably featured. During the last edition of the Nations League, Sabitzer's teammates were playing in League A, but fell in battle with 4 small points, 1 less than the French, who were barely retained.

Holder and captain, Oblak (Atlético Madrid) is obviously in the group like the experienced Kurtic (92 caps), Ilicic (17 goals in 83 caps), the striker Sporar (Panathinaikos, 12 goals in selection), the crack Sesko (RB Leipzig) or even the residents of the SA, Stojanovic (Salernitana, 57 sel), Bijol (Udinese, 53 sel), and Lovric (Udinese, 35 caps). The Euro will therefore have been his end clap, the replacement goalkeeper Belec (21 caps) retired internationally while the defender Blazic (32 caps), present at the Euro was not summoned in the same way as the midfielders Verbic (Panathinaikos, 6 goals in 61 caps), Zeljkovic (1 cap), and Zugelj (Bodo-Glimt). Toulouse's Zajc (8 goals in 39 caps) was also not selected. Still injured, executive David Alaba (Real Madrid) should return in October and possibly be present for the November break. Rafl Rangnick will also have to deal without attackers Gregoritsch (Fribourg), Entrup (3 sel), and Kalajdzic.

Among the players present, Arnautovic (116 caps, 37 caps) is there as are the midfielders Baumgartner (Leipzig, 42 caps, 16 goals), Grillitsch (Hoffenheim, 47 caps), Grüll (5 caps), the captains Laimer ( Bayern) and Sabitzer (BVB) or even Wimmer (Wolfsburg). Last, Kevin Danso (Lens), Wöber (Leeds), Lienhart (Fribourg), or even Posch (Bologna), all present at the Euro are present. Note the presence of a new kid, Jakupovic, playing in Maribor.
