World Cup qualifying Betting Preview: Sweden vs Slovenia

A Sweden side in poor form meet Slovenia at Strawberry Arena, with kick-off set for 14:45 on Tuesday 18 November. To avoid yellow-card accumulation and potential suspensions for the play-offs, Sweden are making nine changes for this match.

Sweden and Slovenia might play out a low-scoring contest, with Under 2.5 looking like the best pick. We can head to the Total Goals market and secure odds of -116 for this selection.

Bottom-of-the-table Sweden, who have just one point from five games, were beaten in their most recent outing. A 4-1 World Cup qualifying scoreline occurred away from home at Stade de Geneve against Switzerland. Graham Potter's team had 43% possession and recorded three shots on target, while Benjamin Nygren bagged the goal.

Slovenia were defeated in their previous game, being beaten at home to Kosovo by a 2-0 World Cup qualifying scoreline at Stozice Stadium in Ljubljana. The Dragons finished with just 39% possession and didn’t have any shots on goal.

Head-to-Head Statistics

Sweden are unbeaten in the past three matches against Slovenia, with the last encounter ending in a 2-2 draw at Stozice Stadium. The previous 3 H2H games have featured two draws and one Sweden victory.
