The managers S. Hadžić and S. Grubor are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the 1. SNL league table.

Olimpija form and stats

14 points is a decent return from 7 1. SNL games here at Stozice Stadium for Olimpija, who have the most scored goals (36) in 1. SNL,. The data says 4 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss.

Olimpija's previous game was a 1. SNL match also played at home, ending 6-0 versus Rudar Velenje (placed 10th). The home side are looking to build on that result. In the game before, an away victory match versus Triglav with a 3-2 scoreline.

As mentioned above, Olimpija "killed" Rudar Velenje in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

Olimpija always seem capable of creating a buzz here at Stozice Stadium with 22 goals in 7 league games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 12 goals have been conceded.

Aluminij form and stats

3 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Aluminij, who have the fewest conceded goals (8) in 1. SNL, playing as the away team in the 1. SNL this season.

Aluminij won their last game, 5-1 versus Bravo played at home. A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Koper.

As mentioned above, Aluminij was the only team on the pitch versus Bravo in their previous game, winning 5-1. This could be a tougher task.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Aluminij manager S. Grubor as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Koper.

Aluminij have scored 7 goals on their travels this season, from 7 away games in the league. It's not easy to score on Aluminij as they have only conceded 5 goals from these away games.
