EVENT ENDED!

The hosts have lost just one of their last eight matches, friendly or otherwise, with that solitary defeat coming in a narrow 1-0 loss against Scotland on their Group F travels last time out.

Match Preview

As it stands, ahead of our Slovenia vs Malta preview, the hosts are sat in second place in Group F, courtesy of goal difference. They need to keep up their momentum and keep putting points on the board at home if they are to battle their way to the World Cup in a fairly open game from second place downwards.

  • Poland 1-1 Slovenia
  • Saudi Arabia 0-0 Slovenia
  • Slovenia 2-0 Finland
  • Scotland 1-0 Slovenia

The home side have conceded just two goals in their last seven matches, with their defensive record being a good reason behind why they are being able to mount a qualification challenge. One home loss in nine fixtures is a very strong run of form in Ljubljana.

The visitors have managed to beat Ukraine 1-0 in a recent friendly, but it will not affect our Slovenia vs Malta predictions very heavily at all. They have won just one World Cup qualifying away game since the turn of the millennium, which is an unenviably poor run of historic form.

  • Malta 0-1 Slovenia
  • Malta 0-2 Iceland
  • Malta 1-3 Slovakia
  • Ukraine 0-1 Malta

Slovenia vs Malta Prediction and Betting Advice

The visitors haven’t found the back of the net in four of their last five World Cup qualifying games on the road. This time around, they have suffered back-to-back 2-0 losses at the hands of England and Lithuania, ahead of our Slovenia vs Malta picks.

Slovenia have been solid at home so far in Group F, while Malta continue to flounder whenever they travel away. It should be an easy victory for the hosts, who will be likely to continue their good recent run of three consecutive home clean sheets.
