Aluminij faces one of the toughest challenges of the season on Sunday, and the same goes for Gorica. The teams will meet on Sunday under the floodlights, and the match can also be followed live on Sportklub 1. Gorica is given a slight favorite role, and the Primorci may have a slight advantage due to playing at home in front of their fans. However, the visitors in the derby of 2. SNL should not be underestimated.
Aluminij will be looking to continue their unbeaten streak, which now stands at 6 matches, in Gorica. The Kidričani are aware that a very tough match awaits them, but they are certainly not going to wave the white flag in Nova Gorica, emphasized Aluminij defender Aleksandar Zeljković before the match.
“Of course, we have a demanding match in Nova Gorica ahead of us. We have been preparing for the match all week just like for any other. We don’t want to think about it being a clash of leading teams, but as we have been emphasizing all the time, we want to play this match at the highest possible level, which I believe will be enough for new points in the end. It’s up to us to transfer the ideas and principles we have onto the field. It’s true that Gorica is very efficient, but I believe in our work, our cohesion, our teamwork, and our strength, not just in defense but in the whole team. I think we have analyzed them well, and if we stick to the instructions and give our maximum on the field, the defensive line won’t be under too much pressure,” said the 25-year-old defender on the club’s website ahead of the encounter with Gorica.
Zeljković also highlighted how important the atmosphere in the dressing room can be.
“The atmosphere is very important. Even when we had two losses in between, the energy in the dressing room was right. Now that the results are significantly better, this positive energy has only increased, and we draw the necessary confidence from that energy that we need before each match,” concluded Zeljković, who also previously played for Tabor and Beltinci.
