The 2. SNL league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Krka and Nafta are placed 1st and 2nd respectively.

Nafta could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Slovenian Cup game only three sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Sencur. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Krka form and stats

Nothing to worry about in defence for Krka, as their goalkeeper Denis Pintol has completely shut out the opponents for 183 minutes in the 2. SNL.

It's back home for Krka, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating NŠ Drava away with the result 2-0. M. Brekalo (2) found the net in that victory. Ahead of that match, Krka won a home game hosting Brda Dobrovo (4-0).
