Slovenia vs Austria prediction

Slovenia are struggling against some stiff competition in Group A and that has been reflected in their results so far. They still don’t have a single point to their name, losing five from five with only four points scored. Keeping out their opponents hasn’t been possible and it’s a whopping 25 points conceded so far.

When taking this into account, Austria really should be able to get the better of them here. With two wins, one of which came in overtime they remain in the quarter-final hunt and provided they don’t allow any complacency to creep in, then this game is expected to end in their third victory.

Slovenia vs Austria tip: Austria to win
