Slovenia take on the visitors San Marino in the round 2 match of UEFA Euro 2024 qualification. The match will be played on Saturday, March 26th at Stadion Stožice (Ljubljana).
Slovenia squeezed Kazakhstan physically in the start of the Euro qualifiers with a 2-1 victory and began their qualification for the continental forum with a win over Germany. Matjaz Kek's team has a great opportunity to secure their second victory in the group and start the difficult qualification for the tournament in a worthy manner. Clearly, this team has problems in positional attack, but the Kazakhs gave them too much freedom, and with San Marino, their execution will ultimately make a difference sooner or later, no matter how you look at it.

San Marino come out with one single task for each World Cup or Euro qualifier - to at least score a goal, and the minimum task will be achieved. Unfortunately, this football dwarf is not capable of more. Currently, the start with Northern Ireland at home was decent, as Benedettini carried the team as best he could, but the final result was a 0-2 loss. By the way, the sky blues scored a goal, but Nanni's goal was canceled due to offside. It is unlikely that such opportunities will arise for the visitors in Ljubljana.
It is clear that the Slovenians will capture the territorial advantage from the first minutes, they are significantly superior in class, but they will face a dense defensive structure from the opponent. Considering that Kek's team does not have top players like Ilicic before, and their style is accustomed to counterattacks, the hosts will have problems in positional attack. This simply leads to the logical victory of the favorite by a margin of 3-4-0, but it is unlikely that this Slovenia is capable of scoring 5 or more, and the opponent should not expect a bigger loss. In 2020, the Slovenians won 4-0 at home in a friendly match, but we definitely do not expect a bigger scoreline now.
Prediction for the match: Slovenia to win and under 4.5 scored goals.
