vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Slovenia go into their opening Nations League fixture with one win, two draws and three defeats in their last six international matches: the most recent is a 1-2 defeat away at Croatia, before that a 1-1 draw with Cyprus. Before that a 3-2 win away at Montenegro, further back a 0-1 defeat away at Hungary, a 1-1 draw away at Sweden and, opening the run, a 0-2 defeat to Kosovo. Scotland arrive with three wins and three defeats in their last six: the most recent is a 0-3 defeat to Brazil, before that a 0-1 defeat to Morocco. Before that a 1-0 win away at Haiti, further back a 4-0 win away at Bolivia, a 4-1 win over Curaçao and, opening the run, a 0-1 defeat to Ivory Coast. In the two previous meetings between the sides the record is level: the most recent, played in Slovenia, finished 2-2, while the one before that, played in Scotland, was won 1-0 by the home side. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
