Slovenia enter this friendly as clear favourites and will be keen to build momentum after their recent victory over Montenegro. Despite missing Benjamin Sesko, they still possess more quality throughout the squad and should dominate possession for long periods in Ljubljana.
Cyprus have lost three of their last four matches and continue to struggle defensively against stronger opposition. Their away record remains inconsistent and they often find it difficult to create chances against organised teams.
The head-to-head record also favours Slovenia, while most previews and predictive models expect the hosts to come out on top. With home advantage, superior quality and greater attacking threat, Slovenia should have enough to secure the win.
Prediction: Slovenia 2-0 Cyprus
