Slovenia Team News
In the last competitive match, Slovenia defeated San Marino away 0:4. They took the lead in the fourth minute through Zan Vipotnik, and doubled their advantage twelve minutes later with a goal by Jan Mlakar. The visitors scored the third goal of the match in the 61st minute with a goal by Sandi Lovrić, and the final score was set by Žan Karničnik six minutes later. Adam Gnezda Čerin managed to score the fifth goal for Slovenia, but the goal was disallowed after the VAR decision.
After six rounds, Slovenia is tied for first place in the table with 13 points, the same number as Denmark. During this qualification block, they recorded four wins one draw, and one loss each.
Given that Matjaž Kekov’s team has gained continuity in recent months, he has chosen the well-known Slovenian team for the matches against Finland and Northern Ireland.
As usual, Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak takes the captain’s armband, and one of his substitutes, Matevž Vidovšek, withdrew due to a shoulder injury, but the coach has all his main players available. The powerful attacking pair helped the hosts to achieve an average of over two goals per game in Group H. Benjamin Šeško from RB Leipzig should partner Panathinaikos striker Andraž Šporar, the latter has so far scored three goals in four qualifying matches for Euro 2024.

Finland Team News
In the previous round, Finland lost to Denmark at home 0:1. Although they successfully resisted the attacks of the visiting team during most of the match, they still conceded a goal in the 86th minute and lost points in this match.
After the defeat in the first round against the same team, Finland tied for four victories in the qualification so far. They currently occupy the third position in the table with 12 points, one less than Slovenia and Denmark.
Finland will also be led by an experienced goalkeeper, as Bayer Leverkusen’s Lukas Hrádecky is about to mark his 88th senior cap for his nation.
Having scored the winner in Kazakhstan and also found the back of the net in the reverse fixture in June, Oliver Antman is the visiting team’s most significant injured player, but Venice striker Joel Pohjanpalo and 38-goal top scorer Teemu Pukki can still co-operate in attack.

Slovenia vs Finland Prediction
There is no clear favorite in this match, and a slight advantage goes to Slovenia due to the advantage of the home field. However, Finland is in good shape, despite the defeat against Denmark, and at the same time, they have a better score among themselves. Therefore, we believe that the match will end in a draw at halftime or the end of the match.
