The golden generation had the Centralni Stadium za Bežigradom, the first Kek’s generation shone at the Ljudski vrt, and the current lineup of Slovenian representatives has found their fortress at the Stožice Stadium. And on the country’s largest stadium, Slovenia feels truly at home. So much so that its unbeaten streak in home matches has now reached – believe it or not – an impressive 664 days. Or in other words: one year, nine months, and twenty-five days!
Last night in the capital, Slovenia also brought the powerhouse Portugal to its knees (2:0) and recorded its fourth consecutive home victory. The winning streak began against Northern Ireland (4:2), continued with matches against Finland (3:0), Kazakhstan (2:1), and now Portugal. Slovenia has remained unbeaten at the Stožice Stadium since June 2, 2022, when it faced Sweden in the Nations League and lost 0:2.
In the subsequent match, Slovenia drew with Serbia (2:2), then defeated Norway (2:1), Montenegro (1:0), and San Marino (2:0), before the winning streak was interrupted by a draw with Denmark (1:1). In the last nine home matches, Slovenia has won seven times and drawn only twice.
Slovenia will attempt to extend the streak in June, when it will first face Armenia at home, followed by Bulgaria. By then, it will already be “celebrating” its second anniversary without a home defeat…
