After the last European challenges of Slovenian clubs, 1. SNL returns to the pitch, starting with a municipal derby between two teams, both of which have yet to score points. Although they play their home games at the same venue, Radomlje will host Domžale this time. The role of the host might be an advantage for the millers, as they have won the last three games at home against the yellow family.
“It’s true, it’s a pity we haven’t won a single point yet, because I think we have shown ourselves in a good light. We progressed from the first to the second round, so now in the third round, I expect us to perform at our best,” summarized Gaber Dobrovoljc on Radomlje’s current path this season.
Both teams are currently without points, which will definitely change today. “Of course, it would be welcome to celebrate, in the end, that’s also our goal. We expect quite a demanding match, after all, Domžale also doesn’t have points yet, so they certainly want to add something to their account, but we have our plans, so we expect a good challenge, and it’s up to us to show ourselves in the best light. I believe in our team and that we are capable of it.”
The 31-year-old has worn the jerseys of both clubs in his career, giving him a slightly different perspective on today’s match. “It’s definitely a little different from other matches, as I was with Domžale from the age of six, but I’ve already played a lot of matches against them, so I kind of know how it will all look. When you step on the field, your only desire is to help the team to the best of your ability.”
Luka Kambič will experience the municipal derby in the Domžale camp for the first time. He arrived by Kamniška Bistrica this summer, previously wearing the jersey of Rogaška. “This week, we prepared well for the opponent, analyzing their strengths and weaknesses. It’s good that we had a little less time between matches so we can quickly recover from two failures. Derbies always have a special charm, and I look forward to the clash with Radomlje. I’m sure players on both sides will be additionally motivated, and because of this, the game will be faster and tougher, as both teams are chasing their first points this year.”
“We still stand by each other, which is right, and I’m sure it will remain so regardless of the obstacles we will have to overcome this year. These defeats certainly wear you down, but we are really a good bunch of guys, and I’m sure we will win points in this match,” concluded Kambič about the atmosphere in the locker room.
