Latest football match prediction: Sweden vs Slovenia
Sweden entered Group B of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers as a strong contender for a direct qualification spot, possessing two attacking stars, Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyökeres – who are expected to lead the team to the major tournament with their superior attacking power.
However, things have turned out quite the opposite. Sweden is currently at the bottom of Group B with only one point after five matches, meaning they no longer have a chance to qualify for the 2026 World Cup through the group stage.
Sweden actually had a promising start to the qualifying round with a 2-2 draw against Slovenia – although it was bitter when Zan Vipotnik equalized in the 90th minute – but they were unable to maintain that form.
The yellow-shirted team then suffered three consecutive defeats against Kosovo (0-2 and 0-1) and Switzerland (0-2), leading to the dismissal of coach Jon Dahl Tomasson after the September matches.
Graham Potter was appointed to help the team turn things around, but his debut ended in a heavy 1-4 defeat against Switzerland.
Despite a poor performance in the qualifiers, Sweden still has a chance to participate in the 2026 World Cup through the Nations League. Therefore, Potter is eager to secure a victory to boost morale as they head into the playoffs.
Slovenia – Sweden's opponent on Tuesday – also started the campaign with a 2-2 draw against Sweden, but they too were unable to pull ahead.
After five matches, Slovenia has three draws – including two 0-0 draws – and two defeats, placing them third with only three points, meaning this final match is only for pride.
Under Matjaz Kek, the team's attack has struggled, scoring only two goals in five matches – both in the opening game draw against Sweden.
Even though they no longer have a chance to qualify for the World Cup, Slovenia still wants to finish the qualifying round with a win to boost their morale.
However, they have a less than favorable head-to-head record against Sweden: they have not won in their last four encounters in all competitions (three draws, one loss).
