Slovenia vs Bulgaria Prediction: the Hosts Will Outclass the Opponent

Prediction for the friendly fixture between Slovenia vs Bulgaria, which will take place on June 8th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Slovenians were pretty confident going into the European Championship. The team tied with Denmark in the qualifying group and made it to Germany, avoiding the knockout rounds. In the final stage of the Euro, Slovenia will again face Denmark, Serbia, and England. In the first friendly game in June, Slovenia took the lead against Armenia in the 11th minute. The opponent came back with an effort by Eduard Spertsyan at the beginning of the second half, but the hosts quickly regained the advantage and held on to it. Slovenia won 2:1 thanks to goals from Jan Mlakar and Josip Ilicic.

The Bulgarian team has been struggling to qualify for major tournaments and to keep up with the rest of Europe in terms of performance. So far, Bulgaria has been pretty much an outsider. They qualified for Euro 2024 but ended up in last place with no wins in eight matches against Hungary, Serbia, Montenegro, and Lithuania. Their first friendly in June happened against Romania, ending in a 0:0 draw. 

Slovenia should not be underestimated. This was confirmed by the March match against Portugal, which the Slovenes won 2:0. Bulgaria isn't a severe opponent of Slovenia right now. The only thing the Bulgarians can count on is playing reliably at their own net. They probably won't have enough skills, even for a draw. We're betting on a win for Slovenia in a low-scoring game.
