NŠ Drava will pray that their home comfort is enough to get at least a draw from this demanding battle, against lively Gorica.

Insights:
  • NŠ Drava have the most conceded goals (82) in 2. SNL
  • Gorica have the fewest conceded goals (15) in 2. SNL

NŠ Drava have had a bad season and will be relegated from 2. SNL. Happy, happy days for Gorica who are already winners of the 2. SNL. This could affect their motivation.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

NŠ Drava form and stats

With 2 2. SNL wins, 2 draws and 9 defeats from their home games, NŠ Drava, who have the most conceded goals (82) in 2. SNL, are certainly not brimming with confidence.

In their previous game, the manager Fridl led his NŠ Drava to a defeat away at Ilirija. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Mestni Štadion. A goal frenzy last time out for NŠ Drava, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Ilirija. Fun stuff to watch!

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Fuzinar in a game that was won 2-0.

The home team are doomed in this game if you believe the odds offered on Gorica to win. Let's see if NŠ Drava are capable of creating a surprise here by looking at their earlier home games as massive outsiders: five games found revealing one NŠ Drava win, two draws and two defeats.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Drava here at Mestni Štadion in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (11 from 13 games). Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as NŠ Drava have allowed the opposition to score 34 goals here at Mestni Štadion. When Drava hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Beltinci, Ilirija, Dekani, Brezice and Krško), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 3 of 4 times.

Gorica form and stats

Rock solid. That's the only way to describe the travels of Gorica so far, with 11-1-1 (wins-draws-losses) so far. Those are 2. SNL statistics. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Triglav game have they lost an away game, meaning Gorica has taken points from twelve away matches in a row.

Gorica won their last game, 2-0 versus Dob played at home.

Before that one, a nice away victory 3-2 at Nafta.

With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Gorica are regular goalscorers on their travels. It's not easy to score on Gorica as they have only conceded 9 goals from these away games.
