Slovenia vs Serbia Prediction, Betting Tips & Preview – Euro 2024

Slovenia takes on Serbia in their second group stage match of EURO 2024. The game takes place at the Allianz Arena in Munich on the 20th June, at 2pm (GMT). Slovenia enters this encounter after a solid performance in the qualifiers, marking their return to the European Championship in over two decades. Their last participation was in 2000, where they failed to make it past the group stage. However, with a blend of talents and finishing second in their group behind Denmark, this year could mark a new era for Slovenia on the European stage. On the other side, Serbia enter this match on the back of a mixed campaign, having beaten Lithuania and Montenegro both 3-1, as well as a disappointing 4-0 defeat to Russia. Keep reading as we delve deeper into how this game might play out. We’ll also provide our top betting tips for this crucial Group C encounter.

Slovenia vs Serbia Betting Tips

Slovenia boasts a solid defence, backed up by captain and world class keeper, Jan Oblak. Expect Slovenia to utilise their defensive strengths and capitalise on counterattacks. Bettors could opt for Slovenia to keep a clean sheet, or for higher odds, we recommend Slovenia winning to nil. This bet would reflect their defensive solidity, as well as the attacking prowess of players like Benjamin Sesko, who scored five goals in the qualifiers, including a crucial goal against Kazakhstan which helped secure Slovenia’s spot in the tournament. 

Slovenia vs Serbia Match Prediction

Serbia, under coach Dragan Stojkovic, boasts some decent attackers like Aleksandar Mitrovic, who scored five goals in the qualifiers, as well as Sergej Milinkovic-Savic in midfield. However, these players face the challenge of breaking down a disciplined Slovenian defence. Given Slovenia’s impressive defence and Serbia’s defensive flaws, Slovenia is likely to win. However, we predict this will be a close battle where Slovenia edges the win by possibly a single goal. Serbia recently went nine games in a row without keeping a clean sheet, highlighting their weakness in holding off attackers. With this in mind, Slovenia are bound to find a goal, so it might be worth wagering a bet on Benjamin Sesko to score anytime.  

Slovenia vs Serbia Correct Score Tips & Prediction

Our correct score bet favours a tight game where Slovenia’s coach, Matjaz Kek, aims to maintain possession and catch Serbia on the counterattack. Serbia’s inconsistencies, evidenced by their recent performances, suggests they will struggle to find the net, especially up against a formidable defence and top-tier keeper. Therefore, a 1-0 victory for Slovenia could be a realistic outcome, considering their defensive prowess and Serbia’s challenges in breaking down defences.

Slovenia vs Serbia Over & Under Betting Tips

Considering the most likely game plan Slovenia will adopt, coupled with their defensive strength, we recommend betting on under 2.5 goals. Although we expect Slovenia will score, it’s unlikely they will find many scoring opportunities due to their cautious approach, where maintaining a solid defence is the priority.
