Slovenia vs Bosnia and Herzegovina prediction, H2H and probable lineups – 10 June 2025
On June 10, 2025, a friendly match will take place between the national teams of Slovenia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Kick-off is scheduled for 18:00 Central European Time. Let's take a closer look at the goal-scoring potential of both teams in this encounter.
Slovenia
The Slovenian national team approaches this offseason friendly without any official matches in this period. The team has already played one warm-up game, narrowly defeating Luxembourg 1-0. The real challenges for Slovenia will begin in the autumn—September marks the start of the qualifying campaign, where they’ll face Sweden, Switzerland, and Kosovo in the group.
Previously, Slovenia competed in League B of the Nations League, going up against Norway, Austria, and Kazakhstan. The team finished third with 8 points and then played a playoff to retain their place in League B against Slovakia. The first leg ended in a goalless draw, but Slovenia secured victory in extra time in the second match, maintaining their spot in League B.
Now, the coaching staff has the chance to experiment with the lineup, give opportunities to younger players, and start shaping the squad for the autumn qualifiers. This stage is a key part of their preparation for official matches, where Slovenia will aim to qualify for a major tournament.
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Bosnia and Herzegovina's national team is actively engaged in the current World Cup qualifying campaign and has already played three official matches, earning maximum points. They kicked off with a crucial 1-0 win over Romania, followed by a 2-1 victory against Cyprus, and edged past San Marino 1-0 in their latest outing. As a result, Bosnia have collected 9 points and sit confidently at the top of their group. With key fixtures against Austria and a return leg with Romania ahead, it was especially important not to drop points against the group outsiders.
Despite this strong start, it's worth recalling Bosnia's earlier setbacks. In the Nations League, they competed in League A against the Netherlands, Germany, and Hungary. That campaign ended with Bosnia at the bottom of the group, earning just two points and relegating them to League B.
Notably, Bosnia holds a perfect record in head-to-head meetings against Slovenia. The teams have met four times—twice in official matches and twice in friendlies—and Bosnia have emerged victorious on every occasion.

- Slovenia: Oblak, Karnicnik, Drkusic, Bijol, Janza, Stojanovic, Lovric, Elsnik, Petrovic, Mlakar, Sesko.

Prediction for Slovenia vs Bosnia and Herzegovina
This clash between Slovenia and Bosnia and Herzegovina is expected to be a calm, low-scoring affair. Both sides are wrapping up their seasons with no tournament pressure, as this is only a friendly. Coaches often rotate their squads, give young talents a chance, and experiment with tactics in these games. Such experiments typically lead to fewer goals. Given that both teams have recently played mostly under totals, it makes sense to expect another match with limited scoring opportunities. My bet for this game is under 2.5 goals at odds of 1.56.
