Each team's starting lineup from their previous match in this tournament is listed.

Austria

Ralf Rangnick's side secured a 2-0 away victory over Kazakhstan in the last round. As a result, Austria claimed their third consecutive win in the Nations League and maintained their lead in the group. With equal points with Norway (10 each), Austria is ahead due to head-to-head results. A win by any score against Slovenia will promote Austria to League A.

• The team has not lost in regular time in 7 of their last 10 home matches in the Nations League (4 wins, 3 draws).
• At least three goals have been scored in 90 minutes in 6 of Austria's last 8 home matches in this tournament.
• Both opponents scored in regular time in 7 of Austria's last 8 home matches in the Nations League.

Slovenia

In the previous round, Matjaž Kek's side suffered a 1-4 home defeat to Norway. As a result, Slovenia endured their second heavy loss in the current Nations League campaign. Furthermore, with seven points, the team lost the chance to secure the top spot in their group. However, a victory over Austria could see Slovenia rise to second place and compete in the playoffs for a place in League A.

• The team has not won in regular time in 5 of their last 6 away matches in the Nations League (3 draws, 2 losses).
• Slovenia has not scored more than one goal in 90 minutes in their last six away matches in this tournament.
• At least one of the opponents failed to score in regular time in 6 of Slovenia's last 8 away matches in the Nations League.

Austria vs. Slovenia: Match Prediction

Only in the current Nations League campaign have the Austrians begun to show high scoring in home matches, scoring nine goals in two games. Previously, in eight home matches in this tournament, the team never scored more than two goals. In fact, throughout their Nations League participation, Austria has only scored at least three goals in a game three times.

The Slovenians prefer cautious football with a strong focus on defense. Even away, the team rarely allows opponents to create many dangerous chances: in 8 of their last 10 away matches in the Nations League, Slovenia has not conceded more than one goal, achieving five clean sheets in this period.

I don't think Austria will fully showcase their attacking potential against the well-defending Slovenians. My prediction: Austria individual total under 2.5 goals
