Scotland aim to build on their first campaign victory when they take on Slovenia in the UEFA Nations League 2026-27 group stage on October 6.
Scotland are set to face Slovenia at Hampden Park for their fourth group stage match of the UEFA Nations League 2026-27 campaign on October 6. The host side, led by Sébastien Pocognoli, enter the fixture following their first victory of the campaign—a 2-0 win over North Macedonia. Midfielder John McGinn starred in that match by converting a 70th-minute penalty and creating four chances.
Scotland will be without defender Scott McKenna, who is unavailable following a red card in their previous match. Scotland's predicted lineup features Gunn in goal behind Welsh, Graham, Binks, Gannon-Doak, Ferguson, Gilmour, Robertson, McGinn, McBurnie, and Bowie.
Slovenia, managed by Boštjan Cesar, arrive at Hampden Park seeking to bounce back from their first loss of the tournament, a 1-2 defeat against Switzerland. Striker Žan Vipotnik scored early in that match, finding the net in the second minute. Slovenia have a fully fit squad, with a predicted lineup of Oblak, Karnicnik, Drkusic, Bijol, Zec, Janza, Matko, Zabukovnik, Lovric, Sturm, and Viptonik.
The previous meeting between Scotland and Slovenia ended in a goalless draw. With home advantage, Scotland are expected to secure three points in this encounter. Fans can watch live streaming of the match on the SonyLIV app and website.
