Six rounds before the end of the 2023/24 season, celebrations have already begun in the princely city. Quite rightfully so, we might add. Celje holds a whopping 12-point lead over Olimpija, who have one game less (the eternal derby against Maribor). However, this doesn’t change the fact that it would take a real miracle for the championship trophy not to end up in the city by the Savinja River this year. Celje will try to take the next important step towards their second title in history this Saturday, when the 31st round of the Prva Liga Telemach kicks off.
Damir Krznar will lead his team to Rogaška Slatina, where playing conditions are far from perfect, and coupled with high temperatures and passionate home fans, the task for the leading team will be slightly more challenging. “We will once again assert ourselves authoritatively, as a champion should. We will seek another victory. Aggressively, firmly,” emphasized Damir Krznar, who will once again be without the suspended Luka Menalo against Rogaška.
Rogaška will go all out
Celje is currently on a streak of seven consecutive league games without defeat, winning four of the last five matches. Rogaška has also been in good form lately. Their recent loss to Olimpija was their first league defeat since February when Oskar Drobne‘s side lost to Celje (1:4 away). This was followed by six league games without a slip-up, a loss to Olimpija, and then immediately another victory against Domžale.
“We hope that the atmosphere at the match will be similar to the one against Olimpija. I think with this match, we can solve many things, we’ll go all out!” said Rogaška coach Oskar Drobne ahead of the clash with the club where he once played as a footballer. Rogaška is currently in 8th place in the Slovenian league table, with a six-point lead over Aluminij and Radomlje. Another victory would indeed represent a huge step towards the main goal of the season – survival in the top flight.
The match between Rogaška and Celje will kick off at 3:00 PM, officiated by Rade Obrenović. The 31st round of the Prva Liga Telemach will continue on Sunday, with matches between Bravo – Maribor (3:00 PM), Mura – Koper (5:30 PM), and Domžale – Olimpija (8:15 PM), and conclude on Monday with the relegation battle between Aluminij and Radomlje (5:30 PM).
