Slovenia vs Switzerland Prediction 13.10.2025 | WC Qualifiers

Slovenia’s wait for their first taste of success in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers unfortunately goes on, as they failed to make the most of their chances and had to settle for a frustrating goalless draw away to Kosovo.

The last time the Dragons graced the grandest stage of all was back in 2010 in South Africa, and everything suggests that their absence is set to continue, as collecting just two points from their opening three qualifying games hardly inspires confidence, especially considering they find themselves in the group of death.

What gives Matjaz Kek’s men a sense of motivation is the fact that they’ve been a very tough side to beat on home soil, having lost only once in their last twelve competitive matches there, a defeat that came against Norway, so they’ll be hoping to rely on that home comfort to keep their World Cup dreams alive.

Amiens winger Jan Mlakar and Slovan Bratislava striker Andraz Sporar remain the only notable absentees for Slovenia in the October qualifiers, with the rest of the squad fit and ready for Monday’s contest.

As for the Swiss national team, they have established themselves as one of the pleasant surprises after making a dream start to their World Cup qualifying campaign, not only winning each of their first three assignments but also keeping a clean sheet in all of them.

This blistering start has naturally placed them at the top of Group B with a perfect nine-point tally, and the five-point cushion over second-placed Kosovo means that the Red Crosses could seal their spot next June with a win in Slovenia.

Murat Yakin’s men have displayed an impressive level of form since the start of 2025, remaining unbeaten in seven matches (W6 D1), while their strong away form, highlighted by three consecutive wins, provides them with a major boost ahead of a tricky trip to Stozice.

Switzerland will be without three key midfielders—Denis Zakaria, Ardon Jashari, and Michel Aebischer—due to injuries, but coach Yakin still has strong alternatives ready to fill the gaps.
