Round 21 in the Prva liga Telemach started on Friday with the afternoon clash between Aluminij and Koper. The hosts suffered their second consecutive defeat of the year, and Koper secured its first victory under the guidance of Aleksandar Radosavljević. On Saturday, the 21st round of the national championship will continue with two matches to be played in Rogaška Slatina and Domžale.
The match between Rogaška and Domžale will kick off at 1:00 PM. The hosts will attempt to replicate their strong performance from the first round of the year when they came close to a significant victory against Olimpija in Stožice. Meanwhile, Domžale disappointed in the first round, losing at home to Bravo. “The spring part of the season did not go as we wished, and our performance on the field against Bravo was below our capabilities. However, that is behind us, and we don’t want to dwell too much on the past. Mentally, we are already focused on the match in Rogaška Slatina, where we go with one goal in mind – to win all three points,” emphasized Domžale’s player Belmin Bobarić.
Rogaška will also be looking to break the negative trend this time, as the black and white team lost both of their previous encounters with the yellow family. The latter won the first match of the current season 2-1 and the second one 3-0.

At 3:00 PM, the match between Radomlje and Olimpija will begin in Domžale. The Millers narrowly triumphed in Koper last weekend, while Ljubljana barely escaped defeat against Rogaška. “I expect a good game! We know what we have to do. We’re after three points, and we can’t afford any slip-ups. The start of the spring season wasn’t the best, but I believe that we will improve certain things and be more decisive in the future,” said Olimpija’s Portuguese full-back Jorge Silva on the club’s website before the match with Radomlje, adding: “We want to repeat the performance from our last visit to Radomlje. Winning with a clean sheet behind is always good for confidence. We need to play at 200 percent. We want to function better as a team, as we have quality individuals. I believe that against Radomlje, we will give our all and show who we are and what we are capable of. A tough match awaits us, but we are ready.”
Olimpija will have their last winter signing, Ivan Durdov, available to play. He was swiftly registered as a new member of the club from the Slovenian capital by the Slovenian Football Association after transferring from Spain.
It’s worth mentioning that the 21st round of the Slovenian league will conclude on Sunday with the matches Bravo vs. Celje (1:00 PM) and Mura vs. Maribor (3:00 PM).
