THE PREDICTION

Slovenia have a spine of genuinely world class talent with Jan Oblak and Josip Ilicic at either end of the pitch but they remain adrift of the three better sides in Group H in Croatia, Slovakia and their opponents in this one, Russia. They played out an entertaining 2-1 win in Sochi in March with Russia coming out on top via an Artem Dzyuba brace. The Russians have a clear strategy of how to create chances and both teams to score again would look a likely outcome for this one given the home advantage for Slovenia.
