Not one of the fanciest European sides, Slovenia aren’t seen as favorites to progress to the World Cup finals. But with some grit and resilience, these ones could manage to wriggle themselves past these qualifying phases.

Croatia, on the other hand, have kept a low footballing profile over the years, but sprang into life in Russia last time out, reaching the final of the WC. Now, they will be aiming to make another appearance at the stage, this time around, in Qatar.

Handed a pretty decent qualifying group, Slovenia will fancy their chances of reaching the World Cup finals for the first time since 2010. Given their relatively lowly stature, it will be considered a massive feat for the side.

It is worth noting that Slovenia are on a magnificent run of form at the moment, remaining unbeaten throughout the previous year, posting some impressive results in that time. Also, they are brimming with confidence after their Nations League exploits.

In Group C3, they picked up four wins from six to topple the pack, two points clear of second-placed Greece. Also, Kek’s charges proved to be sturdy in defense, ceding a measly goal all through the qualification campaign.

Having earned promotion to League B of the Nations League, it goes without saying that the Slovenians are buzzing ahead of the World Cup qualifiers. On the last matchday, they were held to a goalless draw by ten-man Greece, nicking a point home.

Harboring greater ambitions than their counterparts, Croatia are expected to plain-sail through their qualifying section with ease. They shouldn’t have to break a sweat to progress past a group consisting the likes of Cyprus, Malta and Slovakia.

That said, Vatreni’s recent form should be put into prospect – Dalic’s charges losing each of their previous three games on the bounce. In fact, they almost got themselves relegated from League A in the Nations League, managing to stay clear of the basement.

Opening up a new chapter in the upcoming WC qualifiers, Croatia will be eager to get on the pitch to set the record straight with a resounding victory against Slovenia. Expect a five-star performance from the Blazers come kickoff.

When it comes to h2h encounters between these two sides, Croatia get the nod, having proven to be miles clear of their opposition, quality-wise. But given their recent struggles, Vatreni may find it difficult to keep their good run against Slovenia going.

The hosts enjoyed a breathtaking 2020, where they stayed undefeated all through the year. Still, there are doubts hovering about their overall quality. We expect them to be brought crashing back down to earth in this fixture, with the visitors winning without conceding a single goal.
