Switzerland vs Slovenia

Switzerland face Slovenia in the UEFA Nations League on Saturday, 3 October 2026 at Swissporarena in Lucerne, with both nations yet to concede a goal in the competition.

Switzerland top Group 1 with six goals scored and none conceded

The home side sit first in League B - Group 1 with six points and a goal difference of +6 after two rounds. They opened their campaign with consecutive 3-0 away victories, defeating North Macedonia on 26 September 2026 before repeating that scoreline against Scotland on 29 September 2026. Top scorer Z. Amdouni leads the side with three goals this season across all competitions.

Underlying chance quality reinforces their defensive solidity. Over their last five fixtures with recorded data, Switzerland created 1.38 expected goals per match while restricting opponents to just 0.62 expected goals per game.

Slovenia hold second spot after consecutive clean sheets

Slovenia sit second in Group 1 with four points from two matches, having scored twice and allowed zero. They began the group stage with a 0-0 draw at home against Scotland on 26 September 2026, then followed it with a 2-0 home victory over North Macedonia on 29 September 2026.

That defensive discipline gives the visitors a platform in Lucerne, though their attack now faces an opponent allowing under one expected goal per game across recent outings.
