Slovenia confident they can beat Kosovo

Footballer Erik Janža has said that Slovenia has several plans for how to win the match against Kosovo and keep its hopes of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup alive. He said that Slovenia is preparing as thoroughly as possible for the “final” match against the “Dardanians”.

The Slovenia–Kosovo match will be played on Saturday in Ljubljana.

“We know what we want; we have several plans for how to beat Kosovo. On Saturday, it will depend a little on them too, but we are focusing on ourselves, and I hope we will carry out the plan,” Janža said.

He stressed that the absence of Manchester United striker Benjamin Šeško would be a major loss.

But he stressed that Slovenia has enough strikers to replace the United star.

Šeško was injured during the match United played against Tottenham last weekend.

“Of course, it is bad for us, but we players are thinking about ourselves and about performing as well as possible on the pitch. Injuries are a problem for the coach. We will see what the coach decides. We will definitely miss Šeško, because we all know what kind of player he is, but on the other hand, we have three or four quality strikers,” Janža said.
