Slovenia will host Slovakia for the return leg of the UEFA Nations League relegation play-offs at Stožice Arena on 23 March following the away leg in Bratislava on 20 March.

Slovenia need to win the play-offs to stay in the second tier of the UEFA Nations League.

They entered the play-offs as the third-placed team in Group 3 of League B, while Slovakia placed second in Group 1 of League C.

Head coach Matjaž Kek hopes the national squad will show the same hunger for victory as they did last year, when they went undefeated for 12 games excluding the penalty shoot-out loss to Portugal in the round of 16 at the 2024 Euro.

Slovenia have played nine official matches with Slovakia so far, earning three wins and four draws, and suffering two defeats.

Slovakia are presently 41st in the FIFA rankings, 14 spots ahead of Slovenia.
