The managers M. Srebrnič and B. Lučić are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the 2. SNL league table.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Koper form and stats
This stadium, Bonifika Stadium, has been a fortress for Koper in the 2. SNL so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 6-2-0. In general it's been a long time since Koper tasted defeat here at Bonifika Stadium, as they have taken at least one point from their last twelve home games.
A good away victory last time out for Koper, who won 7-0 against Brda Dobrovo (placed 14th). Ahead of that match, Koper won a home game hosting Krka (4-0).
As mentioned above, Koper "killed" Brda Dobrovo in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (18 in 8 games), Koper's attacking play is working. As for guarding their own goal, Koper have only let in 3 goals at home.
Gorica form and stats
The away team, who have the most points (22) away in 2. SNL, have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 7 wins, 1 draw and only 1 loss in the 2. SNL.
The supporters enjoyed Gorica's previous game versus Dravograd (placed 16th), a 2. SNL 3-0 win played at home. Prior to that match, the Gorica manager B. Lučić faced defeat when travelling to Beltinci and losing 1-2.
Gorica has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 17 goals from 9 games. It's not easy to score on Gorica as they have only conceded 7 goals from these away games.
