Slovenia vs Bulgaria Prediction: 8/6/2024

Riding high from a 2-1 victory over Armenia, Slovenia aims to give their fans another reason to celebrate as they face Bulgaria on Saturday afternoon. This match serves as Slovenia’s final preparation before their EURO 2024 opener, and head coach Matjaz Kek is expected to field his strongest lineup. Key players such as first-choice goalkeeper Jan Oblak and Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko will return to the starting XI, with Vid Belec and Zan Vipotnik moving to the bench.

On the other hand, Bulgaria managed to secure a goalless draw against Romania in Bucharest, though Romania’s Dennis Man missed a penalty that could have changed the outcome. Despite this, Slovenia appears to have a stronger and more cohesive team than Bulgaria, and they are expected to demonstrate their superiority on the field. For Bulgaria, both Radoslav Kirilov and Ilian Iliev are contenders for starting positions.

**Prediction:** Slovenia 2-0 Bulgaria.
