Slovenia vs Serbia Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | UEFA Euro 2024

The bottom two of Group C clash on matchday 2.

Slovenia and Serbia will face off in their second match of Group Stage. There were plenty of positives for both teams to take from their opening games at Euro 2024. Slovenia were strong in the back and they earned a well-deserving draw at the end of the match as they didn’t allow Denmark to get all three points.

Matjaž Kek’s men will try to play the same style as they look to get all three points and boost their hopes of qualifying for the knockout stages. They have players who are really good at counterattacks and it will be a big challenge for Serbia to stop them.

Even though Serbia lost their game against England by one goal, they played some good football on the pitch and showed they have the quality to beat tough opponents in this tournament. Dragan Stojković’s men will have to get a positive result from this match to keep their hopes alive. They have enough quality players to help the team get a positive result in this fixture.

Players to Watch

Benjamin Sesko (Slovenia)

Benjamin Sesko uses his frame to take huge strides with the ball, quickly building great speed in and out of possession. Finishing-wise, he is strong with both feet and has a great shooting technique.

Even though Sesko is very tall and physically strong, he cannot shrug off defenders well but still is good at winning the duels and creating dangerous chances for his team. His playing style is a bit unique but he is capable of making a difference on the pitch.

Andrija Zivkovic (Serbia)

Andrija Zivkovic is a natural winger. He is a very fast player with a wide range of technical skills. It helps his creativity which allows him to perform well both on the right and the left flank of the field. Zivkovic is a player who quite often breaks the opposition’s defence with his creativity and speed. His dribbling and crossing ability make him a very lethal player.
