On Sunday, at 19:45, Slovenia will receive the visit of Northern Macedonia’s representative in a match for the 2nd round of the European Championship preliminaries. The match will take place at the “Stozice” stadium in Ljubljana.
Slovenia, solid evolution in the first round, Macedonia did not have an opponent.
Although he scored only one point after the inaugural round of the preliminaries, moving to Israel (1-1), we can not say that Slovenia disappointed. In fact, ranked second on the land of an atypical nation, the Slovenians have controlled the hostilities quite severely and may have deserved to go even with all three points. On the other hand, Macedonia continued the good line of results after the League of Nations confrontations. Promoting enfantry in League C, Macedonia categorically dominated a group with Armenia, Gibraltar and Liechtenstein, irrelevant opponents, however, in order to compare them, for example, with Slovenia. After all, neither Latvia, which is in the same pot with Macedonian ad-hoc players in the League of Nations, is not a scary name at all. That is precisely why the Macedonians did not have any emotions in conquering all three points against the Latvians in Skopje. Now, the problem data is changing. In Ljubljana, in front of an ambitious selection who is aware that he has real chances to win second place, it remains to be seen if the Macedonians will make a new beautiful figure, which is hard to believe.
Given the circumstances of this game, we expect a solid evolution of the hosts. Knowing the value ratio between the two representatives, but also appreciating Slovenia’s good three-day progress against Israel, we believe that winning hosts will find the resources needed to get a positive result Sunday night in Skopje.
PREDICTION: Slovenia to win @ 1,70
