Match Preview:
Sweden went into Group B of 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying as arguably the favourites to secure automatic qualification to the tournament, with the likes of Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres widely expected to carry the side into the competition with their attacking excellence.

However, that has been far from the case for Sweden, who currently sit at the bottom of the Group B standings with just one point from five games, leaving them unable to qualify for the 2026 competition through the group stage.

Sweden actually started their qualifying campaign with an encouraging performance in an eventually devastating 2-2 draw with Slovenia, conceding a 90th-minute equaliser from Zan Vipotnik, but they failed to build on that promise moving forward.

Slovenia, as aforementioned, drew 2-2 with Tuesday's opponents in their first game, and they have similarly failed to build on that result.

Now after five matches played, Slovenia have drawn three - including two 0-0 draws - and lost two, leaving them third in the standings with just three points from five games, meaning they are also playing just for pride in this final fixture.

Goals have been especially hard to come by for Matjaz Kek during their qualifying campaign, with just two goals scored across their five games - with both coming in their opening-day draw with Sweden.

Match Prediction: Sweden 1-1 Slovenia
Both teams have been disappointing during their qualifying campaign, with both particularly struggling for goals, and we expect that to continue in this one. Three of their last four meetings have ended all square, and we expect this one to follow that pattern with another stalemate here.
