This is a continental cup match in the UEFA Nations League, not a normal league game, and these two teams meet so often they can be called a well-known pairing. Last year Slovenia went away and held Switzerland to a frustrating 0-0, after Switzerland had previously thrashed them 3-0 at home. Switzerland come into this in confident mood, winning their last two matches in this competition by the same 3-0 scoreline, with their attack flowing and their defence barely giving anything away. Slovenia, for their part, have not come just to sit back: they won their latest match in this competition 2-0 and are unbeaten in 2 straight, but away games remain a question they must answer, because in first halves on the road they often start slowly and concede first. This game should play out with Switzerland dominating the ball and pushing high up the pitch, while Slovenia defend as a block and wait for counter-attacking moments. If Slovenia score first, the game will turn into the hosts having to throw everything forward to claw it back, and that is the period when the game will open up far more than what we see in the first half.
