It’s a top-of-the-table clash between two unbeaten nations in Group B1 of the UEFA Nations League (UNL) as Switzerland host Slovenia on matchday two. This match on Saturday at Thermoplan Arena in Luzern between the 1st-placed ‘Red Crosses’ and the 2nd-placed Slovenians could end up being a tight game with under 2.5 goals, our match prediction.
After two matchdays, the Swiss are top of the group standings with six points (W2), while Slovenia are right behind with four points (W1, D1).
Switzerland won 3-0 away at Scotland on Tuesday to bring up their second win in this UNL cycle. Both those wins have come by the same 3-0 scoreline, making it four clean sheets in their last five matches within 90 minutes.
That’s a far cry from what the Swiss dished out in the last UNL cycle, where they failed to win a single game in League A (D2, L4) and got relegated, with both those draws coming in their latest home UNL games.
Slovenia won 2-0 against North Macedonia on Tuesday, building up on the 0-0 draw against Scotland on matchday one. Both those games were played at home, and the Slovenians are now unbeaten in five UNL matches within 90 minutes (W1, D4).
Away form remains a concern, as Slovenia have won just one of their last six designated away games.
