After an exciting Saturday, the 16th round of the national championship will continue with two Sunday matches. The stadiums in Murska Sobota and Nova Gorica will come alive: Mura will host Olimpija, while Maribor will visit Primorje. Both visiting teams have significant stakes in these matches. Olimpija will aim to maintain their lead over close pursuers, while Maribor looks to extend their unbeaten streak under coach Boštjan Cesar.
In Murska Sobota, where rumors suggest that coach Oskar Drobne needs a series of victories to secure a calmer continuation of the season, the match will begin at 3:00 PM. Meanwhile, in Nova Gorica, the action starts at 5:30 PM. Slavko Vinčić will officiate the game in Fazanerija, while Rade Obrenović will oversee proceedings in Primorska.
“The last two weeks have been well utilized as we had the opportunity to train extensively and better understand the coach’s demands. We’ve made progress for the future, but now it’s time to prove it on the field. We will do everything to showcase what we’ve worked on and take the next step towards the top of the standings. You can’t change things overnight, but we aim to keep collecting points, winning, and ensuring the best possible position before the competition continues. For now, all focus is on Primorje and finding solutions for a crucial victory,” said Maribor player Marko Božić to the club’s website ahead of the match against Primorje.
Oskar Drobne: “Mura has its own plans”
Mura coach Oskar Drobne knows his team faces a very challenging task against Olimpija. “Olimpija is a very well-coordinated ‘machine’ as a whole. When they are in form, the individual quality of certain players shines through. Raul Florucz is probably the strongest weapon of the team from Ljubljana, but as I’ve said before, we also have our own plans. We’ll see how it all unfolds, but we need to be the ones dictating the pace with our approach and aggression,” said Oskar Drobne, adding that much will depend on his team’s performance.
“When we are aggressive, fast, and direct, our image is different. I think we’ve managed to reawaken the team in terms of fitness, and we’re showing a different picture in this area. When you’re mobile, many things become easier. We can also be fairly efficient, as we’ve demonstrated in recent matches, but we need to confirm this consistently. We urgently need more positive results,” emphasized Oskar Drobne, who won the cup trophy with Rogaška last season. (lb)
