Key stats
- Slovenia won the only previous Nations League meeting between the sides, 2-0 in Ljubljana on Matchday 2 of this edition.
- Coming into Matchday 6, Slovenia are second in Group B1 with eight points, one ahead of Scotland and five behind Switzerland, who are already assured of top spot; North Macedonia are bottom with no points and are certain to finish fourth.
- A win would guarantee Slovenia second place, and they will also finish second if Scotland fail to beat Switzerland, as Slovenia hold the head-to-head advantage over Scotland after a 0-0 draw in Ljubljana and a 2-1 win in Glasgow.
- North Macedonia have lost all five of their matches in this edition, scoring once and conceding 12 – in their 24 Nations League matches before this campaign they had never lost more than two in a row.
- That is a stark contrast with 2024/25, when North Macedonia topped Group C4 with 16 points from six matches (W5 D1), conceding only once.
- North Macedonia lost only two of their first 12 home Nations League matches (W9 D1), but have lost both home games in this edition, 3-0 to Switzerland and 2-0 to Scotland.
- North Macedonia's Matchday 6 record in the Nations League league phase is W2 D0 L2, including a 4-0 win over Gibraltar in 2018 – joint their biggest win in 29 Nations League matches.
- Slovenia have drawn all four of their Matchday 6 Nations League matches, all of them away from home.
- Slovenia have conceded only three goals in five matches in this edition, keeping three clean sheets, the latest in a 0-0 draw with Switzerland on Friday.
- Slovenia's 2-1 win over Scotland in Glasgow on Matchday 4 was their first away win in the Nations League since a 1-0 win in Kazakhstan on 13 October 2024.
- Benjamin Šeško has scored eight goals in 14 Nations League appearances, twice as many as any other Slovenia player.
- Enis Bardhi has scored six goals in 25 Nations League appearances, the most of any North Macedonia player.
North Macedonia vs Slovenia prediction
North Macedonia come into this one on the back of a 2-1 defeat to Scotland at Hampden Park in Glasgow. That means the former Yugoslav nation have now lost all five of their group games in this campaign with just one win in their last 15 matches which came against a very poor Liechtenstein side.
Slovenia held Switzerland to a goalless draw in Ljubljana the other day, meaning that a narrow defeat to the strong Swiss remains their only loss in this UEFA Nations League campaign and a victory in Skopje would cement themselves in the top two.
Slovenia cannot win the group but they can hold off third place Scotland and they really should do against poor and rapidly regressing opposition.
North Macedonia vs Slovenia tip: Slovenia to win & under 3.5 goals
