Mura expects a wounded Celje at Fazanerija after two consecutive wins. Slovan defeated the Celje team heavily and knocked them out of the Champions League qualifiers in Bratislava. The defeat was certainly painful, especially since many fans believed that with Albert Riera on the bench, they had a better chance of success. It ended with a record high European defeat, but there is no time to lament. Celje faces another tough task tonight.
“The easiest way to get over a defeat is with a victory,” said Nino Kouter, a former Mura midfielder, before the match in Murska Sobota, and continued: “We go to Murska Sobota with this mentality. The match against Slovan will be quickly forgotten, and we need to focus again on the national championship. We started it successfully, and with the demanding Thursday-Sunday rhythm, there will be no room for mistakes. The match at Fazanerija will be a tough challenge, especially since Mura won their first two matches, but I think we can handle it. We need to play as we know how. We have an important week ahead of us, where we will aim for two victories.”
The match between Prekmurci and Štajerci will start at 20:15, and before that, the Primorska derby will take place in Nova Gorica. At 17:30, Primorje and Koper will face each other in the 3rd round of the Slovenian championship.
