Kosovo head to Ljubljana with their World Cup dreams hanging by a thread and know they can’t afford to slip up. Four points separate them from Slovenia, who sit second in Group A, and victory on Saturday would keep Franco Foda’s men in the race for automatic qualification before their final showdown with Sweden. The visitors haven’t enjoyed much success against Slovenia in recent years, but this game offers a golden chance to change that narrative.

These two sides have met three times since 2020, twice in the Nations League and once in World Cup qualifying. Slovenia have had the upper hand, claiming two wins and two clean sheets in that run. Their most recent encounter in October ended goalless, with neither side finding the breakthrough.
Slovenia team overview
Slovenia haven’t graced a World Cup since 2010 when they famously edged past Russia in the playoffs, and that long wait looks set to continue unless they find form fast.
With only three points from four matches, the Little Dragons face a mountain to climb, but back-to-back wins over Kosovo and Sweden could still revive their hopes of a playoff spot.
Matjaž Kek’s men have struggled for wins, managing just one in their last seven competitive outings, yet they’ve proved stubborn in defense, drawing five of those matches.
Sandi Lovrič and Žan Vipotnik, who have scored Slovenia’s only two goals in the campaign, are expected to lead the attack again. Manchester United’s young forward Sesko is sidelined after suffering an ACL injury in last week’s 2-2 draw with Spurs.

Kosovo team overview
Kosovo continue their steady rise on the international stage, competing in World Cup qualifiers for only the third time since joining FIFA in 2016.
The Dardanians have shown real progress under Franco Foda, picking up seven points from four games, including two wins over Sweden and a hard-fought draw with Slovenia.
A win in Ljubljana would keep their qualification dream alive and mark another milestone in their growing football journey.
The spotlight will once again fall on Hoffenheim’s Fisnik Asllani, who has been in red-hot form with five goals and two assists in the Bundesliga this season.
Alongside veteran striker Vedat Muriqi, he’ll carry Kosovo’s hopes of breaking their winless streak against Slovenia.

Prediction
Both sides look evenly matched heading into this clash, and neither has shown enough firepower to dominate. Slovenia’s defensive approach and Kosovo’s disciplined setup could cancel each other out, making a low-scoring draw the most likely outcome. I am expect a tight contest that could end in a goalless draw.
Three reasons we expect under 2.5 goals in this game
- Kosovo have kept a clean sheet in each of their last three games.
- Slovenia have kept a clean sheet in each of their last two outings.
- Two of the last three meetings between Slovenia and Kosovo ended with under 1.5 goals.
