Switzerland host Slovenia in a Nations League Group B1 clash in Lucerne on Saturday at 7.45pm, with the group leaders aiming to extend a perfect start against a Slovenia side yet to concede but short of goals.
Anthony Eadson’s Switzerland vs Slovenia predictions, best bets and score prediction are below.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson backs the in-form Swiss to keep another clean sheet.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Switzerland to win to nil | 5/6 (bet365) | Switzerland have made a perfect start to the group, winning 3-0 at both North Macedonia and Scotland without conceding, and they have kept clean sheets in four of their last five matches, with Argentina the only side to score against them in that run. Slovenia have managed just two goals in two group games, both in the 2-0 win over North Macedonia, and were held 0-0 at home by Scotland. They are also without the injured Benjamin Sesko. Murat Yakin’s side did not concede in either 2025 World Cup qualifier against Slovenia, so a home win to nil in Lucerne looks a strong bet at 5/6. |
| Switzerland 2-0 Slovenia (correct score) | 9/2 (bet365) | A 2-0 home win is our score prediction, and the numbers point to a controlled Swiss victory rather than a rout. Switzerland have conceded none in their two group games, while Slovenia’s only goals came in the 2-0 home win over North Macedonia, and they drew a blank against Scotland. The Swiss have been clinical, with Zeki Amdouni scoring three times in the September wins, but Slovenia are well organised under Bostjan Cesar and held Switzerland to a goalless draw in Ljubljana in October 2025. Switzerland also beat Algeria 2-0 at the World Cup, and a repeat of that scoreline in Lucerne is worth backing at 9/2. |

How Slovenia go into the game
