Spain vs Slovenia: a convincing start for Spain in Euro U19 qualifying?
In a second-stage qualifier for the UEFA European Under-19 Championship, Spain will host Slovenia. The match will take place on Wednesday, March 25, kicking off at 18:00 CET, and I’m offering a betting tip for it.
Spain vs Slovenia: match preview
Spain enjoyed a strong UEFA European Under-19 Championship campaign last year. They reached the final but fell just short, losing 0–1 to the Netherlands. Notably, La Furia Roja lifted the title not long ago, having been crowned champions in 2024. They skipped the first stage of qualification for the 2026 edition and are only entering the competition now. The team has been limited to friendlies, winning seven of their last eight matches.
Slovenia, meanwhile, competed in the first round of qualification for the upcoming Euro U19. They lost 0–1 to Austria, then drew 2–2 with Israel, before securing a 4–1 victory over Luxembourg. Four points were enough to see them through to the second round in second place. They did not feature at the 2025 tournament, and breaking through to the next Euros will be a difficult task, especially with Spain and the Netherlands in their group.
Match facts and head-to-head
- Spain are unbeaten in eight matches, with seven wins and one draw.
- Slovenia have lost just one of their last nine games.
- Spain have scored at least one goal in eight consecutive matches, Slovenia in three.
- Spain and Slovenia have met twice in history, with both encounters ending in draws.
Probable line-ups
- Slovenia: Strajnar – Drobnič, Videnović, Weber – Petrović, Tadić, Šunta, Viher, Weisbach – Pejičić, Aćimović
Prediction
I believe last year’s Euro U19 finalists will secure the win and make a strong start to qualification for the next tournament. I recommend a bet on Spain to score over 2.5 goals.
