On Saturday at the Thermoplan Arena in Lucerne, Switzerland will play in front of standing areas<\/a> at home for the first time in 25 years. The crowd will expect noise and goals. To score one, Slovenia will have to manage without their strikers.<\/p>\n

Cesar’s block lives off its goalkeeper<\/h2>\n

Bo\u0161tjan Cesar, in charge since January, is leading Slovenia through his first tournament. Six matches, two wins, and only one victory in the country’s last twelve. The 0-0 against Scotland came down to one man: Oblak saved everything, and a \u0160porar goal was ruled out for offside. After the break, fourteen Scottish shots, none Slovenian. The first win, against North Macedonia, came from two midfielders, Sandi Lovri\u0107 and Aljo\u0161a Matko. This team defends first and relies on its keeper to stay upright.<\/p>\n

On Friday at Brdo, Cesar framed the trip: \u201cagainst one of the best teams<\/a>\u201d, a compact block to hold, no reinforcements called up after the withdrawals, and Brekalo announced in defence. The official teamsheet says otherwise: no Brekalo at kick-off, a back four of Drku\u0161i\u0107, Bijol, Zec and Jan\u017ea. In training, Jan\u017ea polishes the set pieces<\/a> and Begi\u0107 sums up the plan: defend as a block, strike on the break.<\/p>\n

Switzerland roll on and aim at League A<\/h2>\n

Switzerland have not conceded since the restart. In Glasgow, Hendry’s early dismissal opened the game; Rodriguez from a free-kick, then Elvedi and Amdouni finished the job<\/a>. The squad carries twenty World Cup players who know each other inside out. The teamsheet confirms the spine: Kobel in goal, Akanji and Elvedi at the back, Amdouni up front.<\/p>\n

Top of the group on six points, Switzerland hold the path to League A; Slovenia, second on four, need to stay in touch before the return game at the Sto\u017eice in November. Rotation stays possible across four matches in eleven days, even if assistant Call\u00e0 warned that you do not change a winning team; Yakin is back in training after an ear problem picked up on the flight.<\/p>\n
