Slovenian PrvaLiga teams are battling for points in the 25th round. Two matches were played on Saturday, both ending in draws. Bravo hit the frame of the opponent’s goal four times and missed a penalty against Aluminij, ultimately settling for a 0:0 result. In the Styrian derby in Celje, the hosts were on the verge of victory, but Maribor scored just before the final whistle, securing a 1:1 draw. On Sunday, Olimpija will be in action, and a victory in Murska Sobota could capitalize on Celje’s recent stumble and narrow the gap to the leading team to just five points.
“Against Mura, we want to respond appropriately and rectify the image from the last match. We’ll need to show more discipline, and energy will also be crucial. It’s always challenging at Fazanerija, but I believe we can handle the challenge with our teammates. We want to stay close to the top position, which only a victory allows at this moment,” emphasized Olimpija goalkeeper Denis Pintol, adding after the cup defeat: “The response is crucial. Olimpija is accustomed to winning. We are aware of the importance of the match. Mura celebrated progress during the week, unfortunately, we didn’t. Let the end of the week be different in that regard.”
“Despite the cup result, Olimpija sees its opportunity in the championship. They looked very good against Celje, and there are plenty of games left. They will probably come to Murska Sobota with the goal of achieving a positive result. We also have our goals; we want a positive result. However, we don’t concern ourselves with the state of Olimpija; we have enough of our problems,” said Mura coach Anton Žlogar before facing his former club, where he impressed as a player, and added: “I want to see an even more aggressive team than in previous matches. I especially want more balls taken in the middle of the field and better finishing. My time at Olimpija? The memories are beautiful, but now I operate in Murska Sobota. Wherever I am, I always want the team I’m with to win, regardless of the opponent. My basic desire is to win every game, and I would like to instill this mentality in the team. It doesn’t always succeed, but it must be the primary goal.”
The match at Fazanerija will kick off at 3:00 PM and is the second Sunday fixture in the Prva Liga Telemach. Already at 1:00 PM, Rogaška and Radomlje will start their clash in Rogaška Slatina, a true bottom-of-the-table derby. If the black and whites triumph again, they will climb from the last position, displacing Radomlje, who, in the middle of the week, strengthened their confidence with a victory over Maribor and advancement in the cup. The 25th round will conclude with the evening match at 8:15 PM, where Domžale will face Koper at the Kamnik Bistrica stadium.
