Key stats
- Sweden are unbeaten in the previous five international matches between these teams (W2 D3).

- Slovenia are without a win in their last five World Cup qualifying matches (D3 L2).
Sweden vs Slovenia prediction
A star studded Sweden squad have an impressive collection of players as they prepare for the playoffs in March, which they gained as a result of performing well in the UEFA Nations League. In UEFA qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, though, they have collected just one point from five matches with Graham Potter’s first game in charge seeing them beaten 4-1 by Switzerland the other day.
Slovenia come into this one on the back of a 2-0 loss at home to a surprisingly strong Kosovo side in Ljubljana the other day. The Slovenians themselves have also been eliminated from the normal stage of European qualifying.
With home advantage and a desperation to have found any sort of form ahead of March, Sweden must surely come out on top in this one in the Swedish capital city.
Sweden vs Slovenia tip: Sweden to win
