Olimpija and Mura will face each other at the Športni park Šiška in the first derby of the season. This is the first of two derbies that we will follow from today to Sunday. It’s also the first derby that will determine how successful the season will be for both clubs by the end. Mura openly aims for the double crown again this year, and of course, the club from the capital also has its plans for chasing trophies.
Olimpija seeks revenge for last year’s semifinal loss
This will be the first derby of at least three, but since it’s likely that both clubs will be in the title race, it’s more probable that we will see five derbies this season (four league matches and one cup match). Each will of course be a story in itself, and the first chapter will begin to be written today when the teams clash on a rather muddy pitch in Šiška. The winner of today’s derby will then be the main favorite in the cup competition for ultimate glory, as despite some surprises, it still seems that both clubs are in a league of their own.
Mura and Olimpija also met in the cup last year. Last year, in the semifinal, the Mura players won in front of over 500 fans at Fazanerija. An own goal was scored in the 37th minute by Jona Javorič, who is no longer a member of Olimpija.
You can watch the match live on Sportklub 1 at 15:30.
