SLO vs SER Match Preview
Slovenia’s start to their second-ever European Championship was memorable as they played out a 1-1 draw against last edition’s semi-finalists Denmark last Sunday. Going down inside 17 minutes, Matjaz Kek’s team made sure to stay in the game leading to Erik Janza's deflected equaliser 13 minutes from time. The result extended their unbeaten streak to seven games with a valuable point that could prove useful for a first knockout qualification. With one elephant out of the room, Slovenia has two more huge challenges in the group before they can fulfill their dream. The nation wishes to get its first-ever victory in the tournament history although they have picked up just one win in the last four meetings with Serbia, their opposition on Thursday. A win will set them well ahead of facing England in the final group game while a draw might make the situation complex.
Not a start Serbia would have desired after they lost 1-0 to England in their first Euro match as an independent nation. The team delivered a noteworthy effort to get some rewards but left empty-handed with grounds to gather in the race for the last 16. Dragan Stojkovic praised his side’s bravery against one of the tournament’s favorites wishing that the performance motivated his side to pick up the necessary points in the remaining games. Placed bottom of their group, Serbia required at least a win to be in the conversation of the group stage and doing it against Slovenia might be feasible despite the opposition’s excellent form. The Eagles will face Denmark, who face England in the other fixture, in their final group game so three points from their second group game will be necessary to grow belief ahead of the decider.
