Slovenia's picture is smaller, just six matches, but it's a mixed one. Three wins and two losses, with eight goals for and seven against, suggests a side capable of turning games their way but also prone to leaking them.

Switzerland's sample is deeper and more settled, but Slovenia have shown they can win games too.

Comparative Team Statistics: Switzerland vs Slovenia

Recent head-to-head

The two sides met twice in World Cup qualifying last year. Switzerland won 3-0 at home in September, but Slovenia held them to a goalless draw away just a month later.

That's a fairly split recent record. One heavy home win doesn't tell the whole story when the very next meeting produced nothing at all.

Recent meetings have gone from one extreme to the other, so recent history alone doesn't point clearly either way.

Team news

There isn't much here beyond a disciplinary note. Slovenia's A. Čerin has picked up three yellow cards in seven appearances, which is a fair few bookings for that sample.

Z. Amdouni - 2

It's not enough to say much about his involvement in this particular game, but it's worth keeping an eye on if he's on the pitch.

How this one might play out

Switzerland's broader form suggests they're the more consistent side across a longer run of games, scoring plenty and losing rarely. Slovenia have shown they can compete, including that goalless draw away from home last year.

Given the split head-to-head and Slovenia's habit of grinding out results even when not at their best, this doesn't look like a fixture with an obvious runaway favourite on the pitch.
