Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Maribor & Krka face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Slovenian Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
Maribor have less rest than Krka in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a 1. SNL game only three days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Mura, was also a home game here at Ljudski vrt. The away team is better rested.
Maribor form and stats
Last season their Slovenian Cup adventure ended in the quarter-finals.With {2 1. SNL wins}, 2 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Maribor are certainly not brimming with confidence.
A nice win for Maribor last time playing, versus Mura. That was also a home game and the match ended 5-1 with Iličić, Watson, Vipotnik, Brnić and Tolić scoring for the victors. As indicated by the result mentioned above, Maribor played a great game against Mura and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one.
3-3 away at Celje before that.There will be little rest for Maribor after this match as they are travelling to Tabor Sezana for a 1. SNL game in only four days.
