Scotland - Slovenia

Scotland and Slovenia meet at Hampden Park on 6 October 2026 for matchday 4 of the UEFA Nations League B Group 1. Following a goalless stalemate on 26 September 2026, the two sides remain locked in a tight contest. Scotland faces significant personnel challenges, with Scott McKenna suspended and Scott McTominay, Che Adams, and Lawrence Shankland sidelined by injury. The expected XI, featuring Andrew Robertson and John McGinn, will need to adapt quickly to maintain their defensive shape while providing service to Kieron Bowie and Oli McBurnie.

Slovenia arrives looking to recover from a 2-1 defeat against Switzerland, despite a solid 2-0 victory over North Macedonia earlier in the group stage. With Jan Oblak anchoring the defence, the visitors proved difficult to break down in the first leg. Scotland enters this fixture with momentum after a 2-0 win against North Macedonia, aiming to build on that success in front of their home supporters.
