Scotland takes on the visitors Slovenia at “Hampden Park” in the matchday five of the Europe’s Qualifiers Group stage for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia. The match will be played on Sunday, March 26th.
Scotland hasn’t played in the major competitions for quite a long time and it is sure to break a run of failed qualifying competitions. However, last autumn the Scots disappointed their fans again, as they started with the expected win over Malta 5:1 followed it with the draw vs. Lithuania and two defeats vs. Slovakia 0:3 and vs. England 0:3. As a result, Scottish team occupies the fifth place in its group with four points gained and 6-8goal difference, taking victory only over Malta and should it not win its Sunday match, it can relax and play the rest of the matches in qualification on loose as it won’t have any chances even for the second place.

Slovenia hasn’t failed in this Qualifiers Group stage. Srecko Katanec’s team recorded two draws vs. Lithuania 2:2 and vs. England 0:0 plus it took victories vs. Slovakia 1:0 and vs. Malta 1:0. As a result, Slovenians occupy the second place in their group after four gameweeks with eight points gained and 4:2 goal difference.
Scotland and Slovenia have met three times in their history recording two draws with 0:0 and 1:1 scorelines alongside with 3:0 Scots’ triumph. The hosting side badly needs a win but Slovenians show excellent defense and I believe that they will manage to earn some points.
Prediction for the match: Slovenia to win with +0.5 Asian handicap (X2).
