Not since the Domzale game have they lost an away game, meaning Olimpija has taken points from eight away matches in a row.
Olimpija are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 0-0 draw at Mura. Prior to that match, a home win 6-2 against Koper in the 1. SNL.
A new game in only four days for Olimpija, the 1. SNL home match versus Aluminij. Busy days.
