Robert Pevnik returns to Stožice: Aluminija coach is convinced his players can make life bitter for Olimpija
Maribor won the Pivovarna Union Cup Grand Final on Tuesday, and their opponents will be announced today. The second semi-final match will start at 17:30 at the Stožice Stadium,
Olimpija
will host Aluminij. The latter has lost seven of its last seven cup matches with the Dragons, scoring only four goals and conceding 24. But Robert Pevnik, who has sat on the bench of Olimpija twice in the past, is planning no matter what and at the same time believes that Aluminij will be a painful and painful thorn in the side of the Ljubljana club this time.
“No matter who would face Olimpija, the Dragons would be the clear favourites. This is where I see our opportunity,” is for

Robert Pevnik pointed out and continued.Olimpija has already won the national title, there is only one game in the semi-finals and you can have a bad day, you can fail. We would have to play our best game of the season, then we would have a glimmer of hope that we can beat them. But nobody expects us to win, we have the only game in front of us that we don’t need to win and that’s why we believe we can surprise them. We know it’s going to be a tough game, but we’ll do everything we can to turn the game in our favour, to kill Olimpija’s rhythm and to score first.”
They proved it against Koper
Nik Marinšek also believes in a good match and stresses that Aluminij will be more dangerous because of the strong role of the midfielder: “It is precisely because no one is giving us a chance that I think we have a chance. We have already proved against Koper that we can cope with better opponents and why not do it again this time. There is not much tension, in fact it is the only game this season that we don’t need to win. So we expect to play in a relaxed way and why shouldn’t we be happy at the end?”
