Rudar Velenje hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 10 points and a 10th position in the 1. SNL table. Visiting Mura holds 5th place with 50 pts.
The hosts Rudar Velenje 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 Velenje are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
For Velenje relegation is already certain this season. Only divine intervention and/or time travel can save them and neither look likely. Mura are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
Rudar Velenje form and stats
Rudar Velenje's results here at Štadion Ob Jezeru in the 1. SNL have been very modest with 0 victories, 6 draws and 10 defeats. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 32 attempts. With 16 home 1. SNL games in a row without a win, the Velenje fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Maribor game long ago, can be stopped today.
The fans are hoping that Velenje will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-5 away loss in the 1. SNL game against Olimpija (placed 1st). Preceding that match was a defeat to Aluminij (1-3).
As you see from the result above, Velenje suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
Velenje are traveling soon after this match as the 1. SNL match at Tabor Sežana awaits in three days.
