Match report

Slovenia and Scotland met in the opening round of UEFA Nations League B on Friday evening, and neither side could find the net. The match ended 0:0 after 90 minutes at the Ljudski vrt stadium. It was a result that left both sides with a single point from their first outing.

Scotland came to Slovenia with more possession and far more attacking intent. They completed 582 passes against 321 for their hosts, while Slovenia managed just 35 passes into the final third compared to 131 from the visitors. And here's the thing — the visitors created two big chances but could not convert them.

The first real moment came in the eighth minute, though it did not trouble the goalkeeper. Andrew Robertson picked up a yellow card in the 35th minute before the game settled into a rhythm both sides seemed content to maintain. Slovenia made six substitutions across the second half, bringing on Vanja Drkusic and Timi Elsnik together in the 64th minute, while Scotland brought on Aaron Hickey at 78 minutes.

The statistics tell the story of a one-sided performance without a one-sided result. Scotland registered five shots on target and four inside the penalty area, while Slovenia managed just one shot on target with four attempts inside the box. The visitors accumulated 1.94 expected goals but could not turn dominance into a lead.

We had backed Slovenia to win at 39 per cent confidence going into this fixture. The prediction did not come good — and by then it was clear the hosts would not be able to break down a Scotland side that played the second half a man up after their changes.

Both teams remain at the bottom of the group standings with zero points from zero games played. It is too early to read anything into the table, but this draw means neither side has yet established any kind of advantage in what promises to be a competitive league.
