It's no vacation for neither Olimpija nor Koper as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Koper form and stats

Before that one, a nice away victory 3-2 at Domzale.With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Koper are regular goalscorers on their travels. It's not easy to score on Koper as they have only conceded 5 goals from these away games.
