Prediction published on 9/4/24, 2:45 PM  by Will Chace in Soccer Picks

The league phase of the 2024-25 UEFA Nations League kicks off this week as we spotlight an intriguing cross-border clash between Slovenia and Austria. The Slovenians will play host to their northern neighbors, who are the favorites in this midweek match. Austria is ranked as the highest team in League B at 17, while Slovenia fall in the middle of the second pack of teams. So Austria represents Pot 1 and Slovenia in Pot 3 in Group B3. The winner of this group will receive automatic promotion into League A, while the runners-up will qualify for the promotion play-offs into League A. There is an outside chance that Austria could also earn qualification into the second round (play-offs) for World Cup qualification and eventually book their spot in the World Cup. So long story short, there is plenty on the line for both sides, let alone bragging rights in the region.
