In the final round of the 2. SNL in 2024, Aluminij will travel to Slovenska Bistrica, where they will face a team led by their former coach from last season, Robert Pevnik. After relegation from the Prva Liga Telemach, Pevnik opted for a new challenge, leaving behind a talented Aluminij squad that currently shares the top spot in the second-tier standings with Gorica.
Aluminij’s goalkeeper Tibor Banić recently gave a brief interview to the club’s website ahead of the upcoming match. He spoke about the team’s impressive form and their expectations for the last match of the autumn part of the league.
“We really clicked as a team. After last season’s relegation from the Prva Liga Telemach, the key change was the coach’s appointment. The new coaching staff is working excellently, which is reflected in our results. We have a lot of quality individuals, but I believe that we all put the team’s interests ahead of our own. As a result, we are growing from match to match and training to training. Our goalkeeper coach Martin Jarc has played a big role in my fast return, as he works with us at a high level. This has also boosted the confidence of the goalkeepers, and it keeps growing with each match,” said the 24-year-old Croatian goalkeeper, who missed most of last season due to illness but is now back between the posts. This season, he has made eight league appearances, and it is expected that he will start the match on Saturday.
“We don’t have any special plans for the upcoming match; we are preparing for it like any other match. We have been focusing on our approach from game to game throughout the autumn, and that has brought us results. Of course, I expect all of us, both on the pitch and on the bench, to give our maximum effort again. With another determined performance, we want to confirm our strong autumn season in the last match ahead. If we are again on point and fighting hard, I expect us to finish the autumn with a win and three more points,” Banić added.
The match between Aluminij and Bistrica will take place on Saturday at 1:00 PM, and it will be broadcast live on Sportklub 1.
