Kazakhstan vs Slovenia prediction: Another win for Slovenia
Key stats
- Slovenia have only lost three of their last 15 games.
- Kazakhstan have lost six of their last seven matches.
- All three previous duels between these two teams have gone over 2.5 total goals.
Correct score prediction: Kazakhstan 1-2 Slovenia
These two teams have met three times before and Slovenia managed to win all of these games. Twice, the result was 2-1 for Slovenia, so we won't be surprised to see the same outcome on Sunday.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Slovenia the more likely winners
- HOME: 19/5 (4.80) – 20.80%
- DRAW: 13/5 (3.60) – 27.80%
- AWAY: 8/11 (1.73) – 53.90%
We can see from these Kazakhstan vs Slovenia odds that the bookies consider the guests as the expected winners, which is hardly a surprise given the recent performances by both teams.
After all, Slovenia had a very good summer and reached the knockout stages at EURO 2024. Meanwhile, Kazakhstan have yet to make it to the big stage of some major international competition.

Kazakhstan preview: Can they avoid another loss to Slovenia
It's safe to say that Kazakhstan are the weakest team on paper in a group with Slovenia, Norway, and Austria, but they won't be an easy opponent for anyone. That being said, after the first three rounds, Kazakhstan have only managed to win one point, although they did play away from home twice.
Predicted lineup: Shatskiy (GK), Bystrov, Kasym, Marochkin, Alip, Vorogovskiy, Orazov, Tagybergen, Zaynutdinov, Chesnokov & Aymbetov

Slovenia preview: Hoping for another positive result against Kazakhstan

Player to watch: Benjamin Sesko
With 15 goals in 36 appearances in the Slovenian national team, the 23-year-old Sesko is one of the key players for Slovenia and our player to watch against Kazakhstan, especially after he scored a hat-trick against them last month in Slovenia.
