After securing a first win under Sebastien Pocognoli away to North Macedonia, Scotland are fancied to build on that by seeing off Slovenia at Hampden Park . The Scots looked the better team in the second half of a goalless draw against the same opponents in Ljubljana at the start of this international break.
With Pocognoli’s tactics now more familiar, we’re going with a BOYLE Sports price boost of 7/4 for the hosts to prevail 1-0, 2-0 or 2-1 for our initial Scotland vs Slovenia prediction.

Form Guides

This quick run of games has proved an early rollercoaster ride of emotions for Pocognoli , as the stalemate in Slovenia was followed by a 3-0 home drubbing by Switzerland . That setback can be forgiven due to the early dismissal of Jack Hendry , though, and there were signs of things coming together in Saturday’s 2-0 away win over North Macedonia.
The Lynxes are admittedly going through a bad spell, but Scotland still did well to dominate that contest and prevail via an impressive seventh-minute strike by Kieron Bowie and a second-half penalty from John McGinn . Despite Scott McKenna being shown a late red card, it was an assured display in which Scotland had enough opportunities to record a more emphatic scoreline.
Pocognoli was pleased to see his team enjoy a “mental boost” in Skopje and said: “The players were happy and I think it gives a lot of confidence for the next game.”
Bowie should certainly be in good spirits after breaking his international duck shortly after bagging a first goal for new club Sassuolo in their recent Serie A success versus Juventus . Looking at the Scotland vs Slovenia odds , 9/2 for the 24-year-old to open the scoring again here has obvious appeal.
Slovenia form guide
After drawing with the Scots , Slovenia also took full advantage of North Macedonia’s poor form to record a 2-0 home triumph thanks to goals from Sandi Lovric and Aljosa Matko. Bostjan Cesar’s side then took a surprise early lead in Switzerland through Swansea forward Zan Vipotnik but ultimately went down 2-1 against the runaway Group B1 leaders.
Atletico Madrid keepe r Jan Oblak is undoubtedly their star man but there are other proven performers in this side, including Leeds defender Jaka Bijol . Unfortunately, Slovenia have picked up a few injuries during this window, with Manchester United striker Benjamin Sesko notably ruled out due to a shin problem.
The well-organised visitors do not tend to take any hammerings, though, with all three away defeats this year coming by just one goal in Hungary , Croatia and Switzerland . Let’s finish off our Scotland vs Slovenia betting tips by taking 12/5 for a home win by exactly the same margin in Glasgow.
