Insights:

  • Bistrica have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

These are hectic days for the hometeam, as they were in action only four days ago in the 2. SNL. That game was an away game at Nafta, so at least Dekani are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Dekani form and stats

Dekani's struggle is real here at Igrišče Ivan Gregorič with only 6 points collected from 6 2. SNL games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-3-2.

Dekani are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Nafta. The first setback in the shape of a loss after going undefeated through four league fixtures.

Before that, Dekani had a home game versus Rudar Velenje which ended with a victory 4-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with Dekani perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Dekani as a small favourite), we find 11 games. Dekani has won 5 of these, drawn 3 and lost 3.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Dekani as they have a new game in only three days, a 2. SNL match thankfully also at home. Triglav are visiting.

Dekani have conceded 7 in these home matches.

A 0-1 loss hosting Tolmin before that.
