The Sunday football afternoon will kick off at 3 PM in Almaty, where Slovenia will visit Kazakhstan. We have a matchup of familiar foes from the recent qualifiers for Euro 2024. Slovenia won both encounters then and secured a place in the final tournament in Germany.
This time, the wounded lions will face each other: Kazakhstan and Slovenia both suffered heavy defeats recently, contributing to a dismal goal difference of 0:7. Kek’s team lost in Norway, while Kazakhstan fell in Austria. This was Kazakhstan’s second defeat, with Slovenia handing them the first one back in September, when they were flying high on the wings of Benjamin Šeško.
The forward from RB Leipzig will once again lead Kek’s selection, which has so far winner all three matches against Kazakhstan (with an overall goal difference of 7:2). Also helping to ensure maximum ball possession will be Josip Iličić, who is starting in the first eleven this time! Jan Mlakar also returns to the starting lineup.
