A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The home fans are optimistic that the difference between 2nd and 11th place in the table will show on the pitch.
Gorica and NŠ Drava should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Gorica form and stats
4-1-3 (win-draw-lost) are the 2. SNL numbers at home for Gorica so far this season.
The Gorica goalkeeper is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 194 minutes without conceding a goal.
Happy days for Gorica in their previous game, a 2. SNL match away at Koper (placed 1st) that ended with a 2-0 victory. Before that, Gorica had a home game versus Dravograd which ended with a victory 3-0.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (19 in 8 games), Gorica's attacking play is working. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 13 goals have been conceded.
NŠ Drava form and stats
As the visiting team in 2. SNL matches, NŠ Drava have produced an overall stat of 3-1-5 so far.
Two travels in a row for NŠ Drava, whose manager M. Vugdalic could celebrate last time after the 2. SNL win against Krka. The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Dekani.
The travelling fans enjoy NŠ Drava's attacking play in away games, having scored 15 goals in 9 league matches away. The NŠ Drava manager M. Vugdalic has some worries about the defense as 18 goals have been conceded in these travels.
