Slovenia are set to play Serbia at the Stožice Sports Park on Sunday in the UEFA Nations League.

Slovenia come into this game on the back of a 0-0 draw against Stale Solbakken's Norway recently. Slovenia had Angers centre-back Miha Blazic sent off in the second-half.

Serbia, on the other hand, beat Janne Andersson's Sweden 1-0 in their most recent game. A goal from Real Madrid striker Luka Jovic was enough to seal the deal for Dragan Stojkovic's Serbia.


Slovenia vs Serbia Head-to-Head

In three head-to-head encounters between the two sides, the record is exactly even. Serbia have won one game, lost one and drawn one.
