World Cup probabilities on the 3-way soccer line showed Slovenia at +120, Algeria at +220 and the Draw at +220. The total on the match was two with the over at -125. This should happen to be a low scoring game since neither Slovenia nor Algeria has much offense. Slovenia is coached by Matjaz Kek and directed by Milivoje Novakovic.

Algeria is directed by midfielder Karim Ziani, defender Antar Yahiam left wing Nadir Belhadj, striker Rafik Saifi and goalie Lounes Gaouaoui. Algeria defeated Egypt to make it to the World Cup so they have the ability to give the other teams in Group C some trouble. If Algeria had to score a goal and win vs Slovenia in World Cup betting they would have needed Ziani to get some space and locate one of his wingers.

Algeria is unbeaten in their opening games in earlier World Cups as they beat West Germany 2-1 in 1982 and played to a 1-1 tie with Northern Ireland in 1986. It’s been 24 years since they previous went to a World Cup. Slovenia had never won a game at an international competition as they have four losses and two draws in 6 games.

 

Sunday’s game, nevertheless, proved to be a lucky 1 for Slovenia, who won the game 1-0. It was the first ever World Cup win for Slovenia, the littlest nation in the championship with a population of around two million.

 

Robert Koren, the Slovenian captain, struck a long-range shot that Algeria goalkeeper Fawzi Chaouchi miscalculated and allowed to bounce into the goal off his arm in the 79th minute.

 

This victory in fact positioned Slovenia in 1st place for the group, above both the United States and England. The game that followed between the United States and Slovenia on Friday resulted in a 2-2 tie.

 

This is turning out to be rather an unusual season for the Slovenian team.
