Slovenia were surprise qualifiers for the 2010 World Cup, coming through the play-offs where they beat the more fancied Russians over two legs.

Their qualification was built on strong home form, which is something they will have to overcome South Africa, where they will be making their second finals appearance after a debut in 2002.

Getting out of the group stages will be their target and anything beyoind that viewed as a bonus for the side.
