Scotland vs Slovenia team news and current form
Scotland will be without Scott McKenna after the defender was sent off late in the 2-0 win over North Macedonia. Jack Hendry is available again after serving his suspension in Skopje, giving head coach Sébastien Pocognoli another experienced option in defence.
Kieran Tierney and Kenny McLean had already withdrawn from the squad through injury earlier in the international window. Scotland nevertheless produced their first win of the campaign in Skopje, with Kieron Bowie opening the scoring before John McGinn converted a second-half penalty.
Slovenia are without Benjamin Verbič and Andraž Šporar, who remained at home because of minor injuries and were ruled out of the away matches against Switzerland and Scotland. Jan Oblak, Jaka Bijol, Adam Gnezda Čerin and Sandi Lovrić remain important to Slovenia’s structure, but the absence of Šporar reduces their established options in attack.

Scotland vs Slovenia H2H
Scotland are unbeaten in the six senior meetings between the teams. UEFA’s current head-to-head record lists two Scotland wins and four draws, with Slovenia yet to record a victory.
The reverse Nations League fixture in Ljubljana finished 0-0 on 26 September 2026. Across the six meetings, Scotland have scored seven goals and Slovenia three.
Key players and match factors
Scotland’s midfield is central to how they control the game. Billy Gilmour and Lewis Ferguson can help move possession through central areas, while John McGinn remains one of the side’s main attacking influences after scoring in Skopje.
Slovenia’s defensive structure is likely to be built around Jan Oblak and Jaka Bijol. Sandi Lovrić and Adam Gnezda Čerin need to give Slovenia enough control in midfield to stop Scotland sustaining pressure at Hampden.
The first goal, Scotland’s discipline after two red cards during this international window and Slovenia’s ability to create without Šporar are likely to shape the match.
