Squad Stability: Slovenia has a mostly unchanged and cohesive squad, allowing them to build on their recent performances. In contrast, Kazakhstan is undergoing a transition with a new coach, which could disrupt their rhythm. Slovenia performed well at the Euros, holding their own against stronger teams. This experience and their level of opposition (Denmark, Serbia, England, and Portugal) suggest they are better prepared than Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan has struggled since their Nations League success, including a heavy 0-5 defeat to Georgia and losses in friendly matches. This shows vulnerability, especially under a new coach.While Slovenia hasn't been prolific, their experience against tougher defenses should give them an edge against a less solid Kazakhstan team. A win by handicap seems plausible considering the difference in recent form and stability.
