A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Maribor fans are optimistic that the difference between 2nd and Gorica's 10th place in the table will show on the pitch.

Insights:
  • Maribor have the most scored goals (57) in 1. SNL
  • Gorica have the fewest scored goals (23) in 1. SNL

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

The season is still full of potential for Maribor as they can still win the whole 1. SNL. Gorica are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.
