Recently, Austria has displayed a powerful attacking force in their matches. Particularly against weaker opponents, Austria has consistently found scoring opportunities through efficient attacking play. However, when facing teams with strong defenses, Austria sometimes struggles to break down the opposition. From recent performances, while Austria’s defense occasionally makes mistakes, the team has generally shown good stability. In particular, the control in midfield has been a key factor in Austria’s ability to push forward.

Slovenia is known for its solid defensive setup. The team maintains close coordination between midfielders and defenders, forming an effective defensive barrier. They focus their attention during defense, closely marking key players from the opposition to limit their attacking options. On many occasions, Slovenia’s resilient defense has neutralized their opponents’ attacks. However, Slovenia tends to perform weaker in away matches. The away atmosphere often affects the players, creating additional psychological pressure and leading to less stable performances compared to their home games. When facing stronger teams, Slovenia’s defense is under greater pressure, and their attacking options are more limited.
