Slovenia vs Northern Ireland match preview
Will Northern Ireland’s nightmare campaign continue?
On matchday one, Dion Charles’ brace saw them beat San Marino 2-0 at Stadio Olimpico di San Marino, but it’s all been very much downhill from there.
Subsequently, the Green and White Army have suffered three successive 1-0 defeats, beaten by Finland and Kazakhstan at Windsor Park, also controversially defeated in Denmark in-between.
Michael O’Neill, who’s back in charge, led Northern Ireland to the Euro 2016 knockouts, their first major tournament for 30 years, but repeating that achievement seems a million miles away.
Ahead of Sunday’s extremely long trip east to Astana, can Northern Ireland end their losing streak in Ljubljana?
Slovenia meantime need the points at they aim to reach a first major tournament since South Africa 2010.
June didn’t exactly go to plan for Matjaž Kek’s team, defeated 2-0 in Helsinki, before earning a respectable 1-1 draw at home to Denmark; Andraž Šporar on target in that one.
In March, Slovenia had began with back-to-back wins, but those results have seen them slip down to fourth, although it’s very tight at the top.
So, will the hosts prove to be too strong at Stadion Stožice, or can Northern Ireland win a competitive away game for the first time in two years?
Slovenia team news
Jan Oblak has been one of the very best goalkeepers in the world for many years now, so is determined to feature at a major tournament for the very first time.
At the other end of the field, Andraž Šporar and Benjamin Šeško are a very dangerous strike-duo.
Northern Ireland team news
James Lewis, Steven Davis and Kyle Lafferty are all not in this squad for various reasons.
Captain Jonny Evans, who made his second Manchester United debut on Sunday, will captain the team, while Josh Magennis is the top-scorer in the squad with ten international goals.
Dion Charles is the only player to have scored in this campaign, so will that change in Ljubljana?
