Slovenia demonstrated defensive solidity by securing a clean sheet against Scotland in their opening 0-0 draw. FYR Macedonia have struggled significantly in attack, failing to score in five consecutive outings against Switzerland, Turkiye, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Republic of Ireland, and Denmark. Given FYR Macedonia's offensive drought and Slovenia's compact home approach, backing the hosts to win or draw provides strong support in what projects to be a low-scoring encounter.
