Slovenia and Cyprus drew 1–1 in a friendly international on 4 June, a result that reflected the hosts' modest but superior chance creation. Playing in a 4–4–2 formation, Slovenia generated 0.61 xG and found the net once, while Cyprus, operating in a 4–3–3 setup, managed just 0.33 xG despite also scoring. The Cypriot goalkeeper faced a post-shot xG of 1.0 and conceded exactly as expected, registering no shot-stopping heroics. With no goalscorer details recorded and neither team recording shots on target in official records, the match proved a cagey affair where both sides converted limited opportunities into equal reward. Referee Patrik Kolaric oversaw proceedings without notable incident. The draw leaves both nations with a point apiece in their respective preparations.
