It’s time for the big derby

Under the impression of the European war, the Slovenian big three Olimpia, Maribor and Celje will still enter the European autumn, and the first SNL round 6 will all revolve around the first big derby of the season. The game on Sunday in Ljudské vrt is very important for determining the atmosphere of the return of the European competition, and it is also important for the starting point of the league. After the derby, the champions Sejany will host Ajdovci, and the first game of the round will be played today in Murska Sobota and Domžale. Monday will be in Bravo, where Rendafcan will be held.

Murska Saturday: Mura – Karce Radomle (Saturday, referee Aleksandar Matkovic, 5:30 p.m.): After the euphoria, the Sobo people realized that they are not in the top half of the standings yet. But perseverance and competitiveness in every game are also part of a well-functioning team. Now is his time as a coach. Tongchi Zhilogar The selection could be tightened further and especially strengthened in terms of character. He must wait for the added value of the players. The people of Radom are quite opponents and, as it turns out, not favorable.

Domzale: Domzale – Koper (Martin Matosa, 20.15): Will the blind bitch from Domzale find the eggs? They can already be curious in the camp with young trainers and debutants Eric Meldanovich It did not go as planned. But, let them realize, it could have been worse. If they were unattractive in the match, the Koper guys were extremely tactical and ultimately “neat” on the pitch. They beat worse teams, and Domzaar is currently worse.

Maribor: Maribor – Olimpia (Sunday, David Šmajc, 5:30pm): This big derby came at the wrong time. For whom? For a loser. Maribor was used to losing in the summer, it was not fatal, Olimpia had not lost at all. Coach Ant Simonza exist Victor Sanchez They are fully prepared for a battle, but this is not what every coach wants: to play for everyone and be full of adrenaline. The residents of Maribor certainly spend more in Sweden than the residents of the banks of Ljubljanica. This – and almost meets the criteria Zlatko Zahovic Pragmatic perfection on the pitch – the strength of the green-white symphony. How he will mix Simmonds’ game and tactical plans remains a mystery. In Stockholm, foreigners are just appendages.

Hello El Arbi Sultan It is a priceless asset and even fresher Josip Ilicic. But after 90 minutes, the game is no longer about Sweden. Sanchez’s tactical ritual is well known, two or three new players in the starting eleven, then let the tempo of the game be controlled without too much fluctuation. The derby will not be “eye candy” yet, because the European challenge is too big and millions of euros are welcome. Like it or not, Zuggarden and Rijeka will be involved in a game that the people of Maribor cannot lose. The people of Ljubljana will suffer defeat sooner or later.

Celje: Celje – Primorsky Krai (Slavko Vinčić, 20.15): The people of Celje have survived the most difficult period and everything is still in their own hands. In any case, Aidovci should not have too many problems and at most will be an ideal “sparring partner” for Pujnik’s return to European competition. Fatigue after the difficult journey from Armenia should not be an excuse, especially for the coach. Alberta Rierohe set high standards for Celje with his communication style and ambition. Also for himself, so he could also “fall”.

Ljubljana: Bravo – NAFTA (Monday, Mateo Tozon, 5:30pm): A great performance, at the top of the rankings. If Olimpia does not celebrate in the People’s Garden, this is the reality. Relaxed, unburdened, high-quality Šiškari in Stožice should not miss such an opportunity. For the first Saturday Night Live, NAFTA is still not competitive, the question is whether this will be the case this season.
