Aluminij has been unable to defeat Mura since October 2020, and it seems that the opportunity has never been better. On the other hand, it is true that the last thing Mura, which in the past had only conceded defeat to Aluminij three times in 18 mutual matches, wants is a defeat. There is only a five-point difference between the two teams in the Prva liga Telemach standings. Therefore, if Aluminij were to win, Mura would be getting closer and closer to the dangerous waters leading to the 2nd SNL at the end of the season.
The opening match of the 24th round of the Slovenian championship will kick off in Kidričevo at 17:30, officiated by referee Nejc Kajtazović. The home team coached by Robert Pevnik enters the game without any suspended players, while Mura has three players on the sidelines due to yellow cards: Žiga Kous, Borna Proleta, and Žan Trontelj. Additionally, young players Timotej Brkić and Žiga Laci are out due to more severe injuries, and Matic Maruško, Ben Cottrell, Daniel Katić are also absent. Mura is depleted, to say the least, but at least Niko Kasalo and Nikola Jovićević are returning.

“Regardless of everything, our goal is to win the match,” emphasizes the new Mura coach Anton Žlogar and adds: “With this goal, we must enter the match, and primarily the boys need to gain confidence and reliability. We won’t take many risks in the defensive phase, but in attack, we will try to be even more dangerous than against Radomlje.”

Robert Pevnik, the coach of Aluminij, added before the match: “The match against Olimpija is forgotten; since Monday, the complete focus has been on the match against Mura. We have talked within the locker room, and we can promise that we will try to repeat or upgrade the game as we showed against Radomlje. Our goal is to be aggressive, on the verge of a foul, more consistent in following instructions, and I believe we will fulfill that. The whole week is going in a good atmosphere; everyone wants to show on the field that we are a playing team. We want to cultivate our game, the goal is to win against Mura, we are aware that the opponent is tricky, but we are determined and confident that this time the three points will stay at home.”
In the 24th round of the Prva liga Telemach, Saturday will also feature the matches Olimpija – Celje (3:00 PM) and Maribor – Domžale (5:30 PM), while on Sunday, Koper – Rogaška (3:00 PM) and Radomlje – Bravo (5:30 PM) will take place.
