Transfermarkt confirms Olimpija’s dominance over Maribor: the gap between the eternal rivals has never been wider since 2004
On Saturday, in the 154. the eternal derby was played between Olimpija and Maribor ended 2:1 for the hosts. If we were to judge only on the result, we could write that the match in Stožice was very even. But this was not entirely the case. Olimpija was much better and the result is an injustice to them. Well, a win is a win and you never look it in the teeth.
It is no surprising that Olimpija was again better than Maribor. The Dragons have been one step ahead of their Štajerska rival for some time now. This is, after all, also evidenced by the little statistical candy that the chronicler OptaŽabar of the Olimpija got his hands on with the help of Transfermarkt. The latter revealed that the difference in market value between the two starting elevens in this year’s Eternal Derby has never been bigger since 2004. Since 2004, because Transfermarkt only then started to record statistics on the value of Slovenian league teams.
