A battle that overnight gained significantly greater interest and importance? In light of licensing upheavals, even the 4th place could bring a lot

In many respects, the tranquil Friday in Slovenian football served up a significant “bombshell”:Rogaška has been left without a license for the 2024/25 season! If this stands, many things could get complicated, including the battle for Europe. The path to Europe also leads through the cup ticket, but if a club wins it and can’t play in Europe for one reason or another, the second-placed club in the Prva Liga Telemach receives it (along with a better European starting position). Similarly, one European ticket is transferred to the 4th place in the Prva Liga Telemach.
Because of this, the last few matches of the current season would gain significantly in competitiveness. Today, two clubs fighting for fourth place will be in action: Bravo will visit Aluminij, who is fighting for survival in the elite, while Koper will host Domžale at Bonifika. Only one point separates Ljubljana and Primorje on the table, and Mura, trailing Bravo by four points, is also close to fourth place. If Domžale were to win on the coast today, they would narrow the gap to Koper to just two points. In short, it will still be interesting, not only in the battle for survival but also in the race for fourth place, which could – as mentioned – bring a lot at the end of the season due to various circumstances.
The opening Saturday match of the 34th round of the national championship will start at 3:00 PM when Aluminij and Bravo meet in Kidričevo. Two and a half hours later, the referee will kick off at Bonifika. At 8:15 PM, the Styrian derby will begin, with Maribor hosting the newly crowned champions from Celje at the empty Ljudski vrt.
The 34th round will conclude on Sunday with matches between Radomlje – Rogaška (3:00 PM) and Olimpija – Mura (5:30 PM). Especially the opening Sunday match will be extremely important; Rogaška could secure their survival among the best with a win.
