Slovenia vs Switzerland prediction 13.11.2026 | UEFA Nations League

Slovenia had a poor period behind them, having failed to secure the World Cup after finishing 3rd with only four points in six rounds in the Group with Switzerland, Kosovo, and Sweden. Before the WC Qualifiers, they also almost got relegated from the UEFA Nations League B. However, this season, they are playing well and are sitting in 2nd place with seven points - four away from the top spot. So, in order to have a chance of securing first place in the Group, they have to beat Switzerland by a big goal difference and then hope Switzerland will lose the last game as well. However, due to a better h2h record than Scotland, they are in a great position to finish second and secure the Playoff for League A.

Erik Janža and David Zec are both unavailable after receiving their second yellow cards in the previous game against Scotland. Besides them, coach Cesar will have two important absences as Timi Max Elšnik and Benjamin Šeško are out due to injuries. 

Switzerland had an amazing World Cup appearance where they almost reached the Semi-Finals, having lost to Argentina in extra time. After the World Cup, they continued with good performances, having won all four UEFA Nations League. An 11:1 goal difference in those four games pretty much sums up how dominant they were in the Group. 

For the upcoming period, the team will be without one of their key players, Granit Xhaka. The Sunderland midfielder suffered a calf injury in the previous game against Chelsea and had to leave the field. Xhaka already missed the previous UEFA Nations League alongside Breel Embolo. Both missed due to falsified COVID certificates from 2021/22. Xhaka will remain sidelined due to injury, while Embolo is back in the squad.
