Serbia Eye Victory Against Slovenia in Euro 2024 Clash
Slovenia v Serbia: A Match Preview
A Must-Win Game for Serbia
After a disappointing defeat to England in their opening match, Serbia will be desperate to secure their first victory of Euro 2024 when they face Slovenia on Monday evening. Serbia will be confident of victory, having defeated Slovenia 4-1 in Belgrade and drawing 2-2 in Ljubljana during the UEFA Nations League in 2022.
Slovenia's Challenge
Slovenia, meanwhile, will be looking to cause an upset and claim their first points of the tournament. The Slovenians have a talented squad, led by Atalanta forward Josip Ilicic, and will be hoping to make life difficult for Serbia.
Key Battlegrounds
The key battleground in this match will be in midfield, where Serbia's Nemanja Matic and Luka Milivojevic will face off against Slovenia's Rene Krhin and Jasmin Kurtic. Matic and Milivojevic are experienced and physical players, while Krhin and Kurtic are more creative and technically gifted. The team that can control the midfield will likely have the upper hand.
Match Prediction
Serbia will be the favorites to win this match, but Slovenia should not be underestimated. The Slovenians have the quality to cause problems for any team on their day, and they will be determined to make a statement in their second Euro 2024 match. However, Serbia's experience and quality should see them through to a narrow victory.
Match Information
Slovenia v Serbia will be played at the Stožice Stadium in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The match will kick off at 14:00 BST (15:00 CEST). You can watch the match live on ITV or online via the ITV Hub.
