Ireland (W) vs Slovenia (W) prediction, H2H and probable line-ups - June 3, 2025
Ireland (W)
Slovenia (W)
One of the matches of round 6 in the Women's Nations League group stage will take place on Tuesday at Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Cork, where Ireland will host Slovenia. I'm offering a bet on goals in this encounter, with solid chances for success.
Match preview
Ireland's women's national team has been putting in confident performances in this Nations League campaign, especially on home soil. Home wins over Greece (2-1) and Turkey (1-0) have shown that this team has grit and a clear game structure.
In recent rounds, the Girls in Green have built momentum, defeating the same Greek and Turkish sides, and also cruising to an emphatic away victory against Greece (4-0). Their recent win in Turkey (2-1) was particularly impressive, as Ireland showed great determination to come from behind. With the support of their home fans, they'll have an extra edge in this match.
Slovenia come into the final round riding an impressive five-game winning streak, including a crushing 4-0 win over Ireland in the reverse fixture, as well as convincing victories against Turkey (3-0) and Greece (2-0). The team looks focused, prolific, and tactically well-drilled, especially in pressing and transitional play.
Over their last 10 matches, the Slovenians have lost only twice—both times in Euro qualifying against a strong Austria. Away from home, the coaching staff's side also looks solid: wins over Turkey (1-0), Greece (2-1), and even a 5-0 thrashing of Moldova speak for themselves.
Probable line-ups
- Ireland (W): Brosnan S., Mannion A., Stapleton J., Patten A., McCabe K. (C), O'Sullivan D., Connolly M., Sheva M., Adam, Barrett A., Quinn L.
- Slovenia (W): Mersnik Z. (GK), Eržen K., Konc D. (C), Agrez S., Kriaž I., Prasnikar L., Makovec S., Korošec K., Kramžar Z., Kolbl S., Šternad M.
Match facts and head-to-head
- In the first leg, Slovenia routed Ireland 4-0.
- The "Both teams to score" bet has not landed in any of the three meetings.
- The "Total over 2.5" bet has landed in two out of three matches.
Prediction
Despite Ireland's perfect home record, Slovenia appear to be the more cohesive and disciplined side, especially in defense and finishing their chances. Ireland will likely push forward, eager to avenge their earlier defeat, but the Slovenians have already shown they can punish mistakes. Given the current form of both teams, our bet is "Total under 2.5 goals" at odds of 1.82.
