Slovenia faces a challenging basketball matchup against Estonia as key players like Luka Doncic, Klemen Prepelic, Vlatko Cancar, and Luka Scuka are unavailable. With Slovenia's offensive firepower significantly reduced, Estonia is expected to capitalize on their home court advantage. The recommendation is to back Estonia to secure a win, covering a -3.5 point spread, as they face a depleted Slovenian lineup.

Match Preview 


Kristian Kullamae is out for Estonia which is a big blow for the hosts, but Slovenia also can't count on multiple stars and veterans. Which side will emerge victorious in Tallinn?

Estonia Participate in Big Competitions Regularly


After a couple of solid performances at the recently ended EuroBasket 2025, Estonia keep pushing in the FIBA World Cup 2027 qualifiers, currently sitting 3rd in Group H with a 2-2 record. 

One of the most dramatic contests in the last decade was seen in their opening match, beating Slovenia 94-93 as visitors, then losing at home to the Czech Republic 97-92 before returning to winning ways in the third round against Sweden 88-77. 

To secure a spot in the next phase, the Estonians just needed to once again beat the Scandinavian side in front of the home crowd but had terrible shooting numbers and lost 79-69, making just 37% of their field-goal attempts. 

Slovenia Tagged Underdogs


Even without their NBA star Luka Doncic, Slovenia are doing a good job in these qualifiers, currently topping Group H with three victories and just one defeat, which, as mentioned, came in the opener against Estonia. 

The Dragons returned to winning ways instantly by defeating Sweden 94-83, and then crushing the Czech Republic 99-59 at home, where Ziga Samar dominated the floor with 19 points and seven assists. 

Slovenia then traveled to Jihlava to face the Czechs once again and extended their winning streak to 86-84 after making a huge comeback in the second half (they were behind by 18 points at the break). Veteran Klemen Prepelic was the key performer this time with 20 points; however, he won’t be available for this match.

Verdict

Slovenia will be without Luka Doncic, Klemen Prepelic, Vlatko Cancar and Luka Scuka for this match, which limits their offensive potential. I will back Estonia to take advantage of home court and win by a -3.5 margin here.
