After the extended holiday weekend, the Slovenian football buzz will continue with matches in the Pokal Pivovarna Union, where only eight clubs remain in contention for the trophy – four of them from the second division. The opening match of the quarterfinals is scheduled for today, with Triglav and Rogaška kicking off at 6 p.m.
The club from Rogaška Slatina enters the clash as the absolute favorite. Oskar Drobneta’s squad has been in exceptional form this year, currently enjoying a streak of seven undefeated matches. During this period, Rogaška has secured five wins in the league and cup, while also not conceding a single goal in their last five matches.
Even Triglav hasn’t been performing poorly lately. The Kranj side has emerged victorious four times in their last five matches, with their only defeat coming recently from NK Brinje Grosuplje in the 2nd SNL. “A strong opponent is coming to visit us, a first-league team in excellent form in the second half of the season. We have some issues with the team lineup due to injuries and suspended players, after a challenging away match on Friday. Nevertheless, we hope for a good result for the maroon family,” said Toni Golem, Triglav’s coach, before facing the club from the Prva liga Telemach.
Two quarterfinal matches of the Pokal Pivovarna Union will be played on Wednesday, with Gorica facing Radomlje and Koper taking on Mura, while on Thursday, Ilirija will clash with Beltinci. It’s already clear that we will see at least one second-division team in the semifinals. Last year, Olimpija won the cup, but this time they were defeated in the round of 16 by Koper.
