Recent history suggests defences will outshine attacks when Slovenia go to Wroclaw this evening, says Tobias Gourlay
Poland v Slovenia
Monday 19:45
Greece 1 Bosnia 1 in Athens last night. The home side took Kevin to the brink, making him wait until the 90th minute for the equaliser that saved his stake.
As he goes for a lie down, we're up and at 'em in Wroclaw for tonight's international friendly between Poland and Slovenia.
Both teams are unbeaten across the first four rounds of their World Cup qualifying campaigns, and we fancy it'll be a tight game this evening.
Going back to a goalless draw with the Republic of Ireland in November 2013, the Poles have notched clean sheets in 8/14 friendlies. They've shut out 3/4 previous visitors this year and we like their chances of neutralising Slovenia.
There's a remarkable stat around the visitors' recent friendlies: four years ago to the day, they lost a friendly 3-2 in Macedonia; since then, at least one team has failed to score on each of their 13 non-competitive outings.
Slovenia have lost nine of those 13 games and we wouldn't put anyone off the Poland Win to Nil. But, with the visitors on a run of three clean sheets in World Cup qualifiers, we're taking the safer option of backing at least one team not to score.
