🔎 Overview

This Group B clash brings together two sides with ambitions of reaching the 2026 World Cup. Switzerland opened their campaign with a commanding 4–0 victory over Kosovo, showcasing their strength in both attack and defense. Slovenia, meanwhile, earned an encouraging 2–2 draw against Sweden, proving they can compete with the group’s stronger nations.

With both sides unbeaten after the opening round, the battle in Geneva could go a long way in shaping qualification hopes. Switzerland will lean on their experience and home support, while Slovenia aim to spring a surprise and take valuable points on the road.

🇨🇭 Switzerland – Confident and Clinical

Switzerland come into this match full of confidence after dismantling Kosovo in their first qualifier. Their balance of youth and experience gives them a strong foundation, and at home, they will expect to dictate the game.

Key Players:

• Granit Xhaka – The captain, dictating tempo and providing leadership in midfield.

• Breel Embolo – A powerful striker, capable of unsettling Slovenia’s defense.

• Ruben Vargas – Brings speed and unpredictability on the flanks.

Tactics: Switzerland are likely to use a 4-2-3-1, with Xhaka anchoring midfield and wingers stretching play. Their aim will be to dominate possession and create overloads in wide areas.

🇸🇮 Slovenia – Compact and Ambitious

Slovenia surprised many by holding Sweden to a draw in their opening game, thanks to discipline and sharp attacking transitions. They now face an even tougher test away in Geneva, but their resilience and counter-attacking style could pose problems for Switzerland.

Key Players:

• Benjamin Šeško – The young striker is Slovenia’s talisman, lethal both in the air and on the ground.

• Josip Iličić – Veteran playmaker who can unlock defenses with vision and creativity.

• Jan Oblak – One of Europe’s best goalkeepers, critical for Slovenia’s chances of taking points.

Tactics: Slovenia will likely set up in a 4-4-2 or 4-3-3, defending deep and relying on Šeško’s movement and Iličić’s creativity to exploit spaces on the counter. Oblak’s role will be vital in keeping Switzerland at bay.
