Serbia vs Slovenia Prediction

Serbia have some extremely talented individual stars. Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic was one of the best midfielders in Serie A last season and has been consistently linked with Manchester United. Filip Kostic remains an excellent crosser of the ball, while Aleksandar Mitrovic's stunning form in the Championship has propelled Fulham back into the Premier League.

Slovenia, on the other hand, have in Jan Oblak one of the best goalkeepers in the world. Young attacker Benjamin Sesko is one player to keep an eye on, with Bayern Munich and Liverpool linked with the Red Bull Salzburg star.

Serbia to win this game.

Prediction: Serbia 2-1 Slovenia
