Before that, Ljutomer travelled to Zavrč and returned home with a draw after the 3. SNL game finished 1-1.The visitors come into this game as huge outsiders. This role is not totally unknown to them, as they have played 4 away matches before with similar winning odds.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Ljutomer manager Fajdiga as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Cirkulane.
