Blazic is the sole absentee for Slovenia due to suspension. Psaltis picked up a knock against Russia in Cyprus’ last time out and could be a doubt for the visitors.
Slovenia possible 11:
Oblak, Balkovec, Mevlja, Karnicnik, Stojanovic, Zajc, Stulac, Lovric, Verbic, Ilicic and Sporar
Cyprus possible 11:
Michael, Antoniades, Soteriou, Andreou, Ioannou, Kyriakou, Kastanos, Demetriou, Loizou, Papoulis and Sotiriou
Prediction: Slovenia 2-0 Cyprus
Both sides aren’t in the best of forms, but we expect the hosts to pick up this fine win here due to the better side on paper.
Cyprus might not have recovered from their thrashing at the hands of Russia, and could be short on confidence.
