2026-2027 Nations League: Switzerland vs. Slovenia, Probable Lineups

Switzerland and Slovenia take the field at 8:45 p.m. on Saturday for their match in Group 1 of League B of the 2026/2027 Nations League. The Swiss national team aims to deliver another major blow in the group to cement its dominance: following two convincing 3-0 victories over Scotland and North Macedonia (both on the road), the Swiss aim to secure first place in the group and promotion to League A right away. Slovenia, fresh off a strong home win against North Macedonia, is looking to pull off an upset.

Amdouni leads Switzerland’s attack, with Ndoye, Manzambi, and Monteiro supporting him. In midfield are Freuler and Sow, while the back four consists of Britschgi, Elvedi, Akanji, and Rodriguez.

Vipotnik is Slovenia’s key offensive player, with Begic, Lovric, and Sturm behind him. In midfield, Cerin partners with Elsnik.
