Slovenia will invite Slovakia to Stožice Stadium in the second leg of the UEFA Nations League playoffs on Sunday. They met in Bratislava on Thursday and played out a goalless draw.
The hosts failed to score for the first time in four games in the Nations League in the first leg. They are winless in their last three games, playing two consecutive draws. They have been in League B for the last two editions of the Nations League and will look to avoid relegation to League C.
The visitors kept their second consecutive clean sheet in the Nations League on Thursday and will look to continue their defensive form here. Notably, they failed to score in a competitive match for the first time since September 2023 and will look to return to goalscoring ways.
