Today, both semifinal matches of the Slovenian Women’s Cup will be played. The hottest encounter will be in the first afternoon clash when Mura and Olimpija face each other at Fazanerija. The prelude to today’s semifinals was already played on Sunday, where the Mura women’s team celebrated at Fazanerija as well. In the evening, in Ljubljana, the home team ŽNK Ljubljana will take on WFC Drava Ptuj. Anything other than Ljubljana’s advancement would be a big surprise in this match, but that’s the charm of cup competitions.
Semifinals a Great Opportunity to Prove Ptuj’s “Little One”
The Mura women await their second derby in less than a week with a good momentum. On Sunday, they defeated their biggest rivals 3:1 and took an important step towards winning the title. They can officially confirm it next Sunday when they visit Ljubljana. A draw would be enough for them to secure the title of national champions in the match against Ljubljana. But the Mura women want to repeat the success of last season and once again win the double crown. Once again, a good turnout is expected at the derby between the teams that have been ruling the domestic league for several years. Over 300 fans attended the Sunday league derby. The match will also be broadcasted on Sportklub 1, starting at 16:30.
The evening match belongs to the Ljubljana-Štajerska clash this time. Ljubljana will host Ptuj at the Ilirija Stadium. In their debut season after the reestablishment of the football club, Ptuj’s women will aim for the cup final. Despite this, the Ljubljana women are clear favorites for the semifinal match. They have been significantly better than Ptuj’s women in their two encounters this season. The goal difference also speaks for itself, standing at 15:0 in favor of the women from the capital. You can also watch this match live on the Football Association of Slovenia website. The match will start at 19:00.
