Greeting visitors in their own stadium is safe and friendly for Ilirija, but Rudar Velenje are fully motivated and able to win this one. What happens today?
- Ilirija have the fewest matches over the total-line (5) in 2. SNL
- Rudar Velenje haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
Rudar Velenje is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
