Slovenia are coming from a 1-1 draw with Slovakia and Malta managed their first win in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, beating Cyprus 3-0. The two sides face off on Match Day 5 in Group H, with Slovenia playing host. Slovenia had to come from behind at home to Slovakia in their Wednesday game and will feel they dropped two points, but here they have a chance to make up. They go to this game with just a win in their last five matches and one clean sheet too in that run, and that is an area they’ll need to improve on. They haven’t been scoring a lot of goals; their last 10 matches have had them score more than one in just three, and three of their last four have produced under 2.5 goals. They’ve however failed to score in just one of the last six matches, and are unbeaten in nine home matches, with six wins and seven clean sheets. Seven of their last 10 matches have produced under 2.5 goals. In World Cup qualification matches, Slovenia are winless, but they are unbeaten in the same competition at home in the last nine matches, winning six with six producing under 2.5 goals.

Malta, on the other hand, will hope to build on their win over Cyprus, which is the only victory they’ve registered in the last seven matches. They’ve scored more than one goal in just four of their last 10 and they haven’t done really well away from home, winning just once in the last 19 matches. Malta have conceded two or more goals in three of their last five away matches and in World Cup qualification matches, they’ve managed just one win in 18 while failing to score in five of 10. Away from home in World Cup qualifiers, Malta have no win in eight and failed to score in six. Going to this game, they have four straight losses against Slovenia and haven’t managed a win in their last six meetings.
