Slovenia is back on familiar ground, playing at home and on grass, and looking to overturn its one-goal deficit against Russia on Wednesday with a spot at next year's World Cup at stake.
Slovenia, which made its only World Cup in 2002, scored a late away goal on Saturday on the artificial surface in Moscow, losing 2-1. A 1-0 win at home in Maribor would give Slovenia a spot at the tournament in South Africa.
