The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Aluminij are in the 4th position while the guesting Domžale worry at 8th.
The hosts Aluminij saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the 1. SNL. That game was an away game at Olimpija, so at least Aluminij are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Domžale are struggling to avoid relegation.
Aluminij form and stats
8-2-6 (win-draw-lost) are the 1. SNL numbers at home for Aluminij so far this season. The season ticket holders are starting to dread their visits here at Športni Park Aluminij, with the home team losing five in a row. They have not avoided a defeat here since the Rudar Velenje game.
Aluminij are returning here after visiting Olimpija in a 1. SNL game and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. Mihael Klepač scored the goal(s). Sensational by Aluminij last match, beating Olimpija away as big underdogs. Ahead of that match, Aluminij lost 1-2 at home to Bravo.
Aluminij are traveling soon after this match as the 1. SNL match at Mura awaits in three days.
The Aluminij fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 30 goals in 16 league matches. Aluminij have conceded 19 in these home matches.
Domžale form and stats
5 wins, 2 draws and 9 losses. That’s the product of Domžale playing as the away team in the 1. SNL this season.

The schedule is very tough for Domžale now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A 1. SNL game at Maribor is waiting in only three days.
