Only a few games have been played in the 2. SNL so far, with Rudar Velenje placed 13th and Dekani sitting in the 12th position.
Rudar Velenje and Dekani 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.
Rudar Velenje form and stats
Rudar Velenje have less points than they have played home games in the 2. SNL so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 0 points. Velenje are slowly digging their own grave here at Štadion Ob Jezeru with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in 22 attempts. The last victory here came in the Aluminij match.
Velenje are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-3 away versus Dob. Before that match, a Slovenian Cup win away at Carda Martjanci.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Velenje as they are travelling to their away game against Radomlje in the 2. SNL. That match is four days after this one.
Early season league goal statistics from Rudar Velenje's 2 home games: 1 goal, 3 conceded.
Dekani form and stats
Dekani are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the 2. SNL, having played 3 games and collected 4 points (1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss).
Dekani have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 212 minutes ago. R. Jakomin was the goal scorer.
Dekani's previous game was their home loss versus Radomlje (0-1). A 0-4 defeat away at Brežice before that.
A new game in only four days for Dekani, the 2. SNL home match versus Triglav. Busy days.
With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Dekani are regular goalscorers on their travels. As opposed to that, Dekani have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.
