Slovenia will kick off its preparation for the UEFA Euro 2024 at their home ground Stožice Stadium with an international friendly against Armenia. Slovenia secured a 2-0 win over Portugal in their last friendly and would like to continue with the same momentum.
Slovenia will aim for a positive outcome on Tuesday against a side that has struggled to qualify for the Euros this summer. They will play two more international friendlies against Armenia and Bulgaria on June 4 and June 8, respectively, before they prepare for their opening Euro matchup against Denmark on June 16. Slovenia’s manager, Matjaz Kek has been tasked with leading the nation past the group stage of this major tournament.
Armenia, meanwhile, are enduring a disastrous run of form as they are struggling for goals. After their recent defeats to Kosovo and the Czech Republic, they were dropped from 94th to 95th in the FIFA rankings.

Slovenia vs Armenia Prediction
While Slovenia have secured its spot in the Euros, they were absent at the last World Cup in Qatar. This will be their second appearance at the Euros since they last featured in Euro 2000. They picked up 22 points from their 10 matches in the qualification process.
Armenia, meanwhile, won’t pose a big threat to Matjaz Kek’s men on their home soil. They struggled to qualify for the European Championships last summer as they only managed to hold a 1-1 draw with Wales and lost the other nine games.
Predicted Score: Slovenia 1-1 Armenia
