Koper - Nafta
Two teams with best recent results in the last rounds. Koper imo keeps winning
and prolonging their lucky wins, but now nobody is speaking of luck any more.
They promoted in the midweek cup game away at Livar comfotably 4-1 and
showed their attacking mood again. Their confidence is at the highest level
as they caught Domzale in the tables, which is a huge achievement.
Nafta looks very good after Gjurovski left them, also with some luck Gorica
4-3 after 2-3 as well as 2-2 in Ptuj (Drava) after 0-2 HT, but showing high
moral and determination, which imo were implemented by their "ultimate"
fighter, coach Skaper (who still carries the title, though Vucicevic has taken
over already).
All in all I don't see an easy game for Koper and wanted to take a good handy
on the guests, but then I found out about all the missings in Nafta team, which
stopped me from betting on this game. Nafta will miss Sebok and again Trenevski
infront and more than possibly Ortiz (still not allowed to play !!! ) and Eterovic
(another forward), who left the cup game earlier because of injury.
Maybe the HW looks better after all this info, but I'm expecting a tough
game here nevertheless.

Livar - Gorica
Even after the humiliating midweek loss at a 2nd divisioner (1-3) I still believe
Gorica has a good team and coach Milanic the last chance to save his job,
though Livar will play this game as a Seaside derby and will try to get their
first home point(s) opening the renewed stadium.
Livar showed some good moments recently by winning at Drava and in the first
part of the midweek cup game vs Koper, but then as also their coach admitted, they
don't have a team to rotate with and therefore the fall was inevitable.
I'm expecting such a fall vs Gorica as well, or better a determined Gorica
team, who will take the 3 points as have all the teams (except Drava).

Primorje - Interblock
A very unsure outcome here imo. Two teams played a cup game on Wednesday,
where Interblock (home team) won after penalties 7-6 (2-2) very luckily,
as Primorje was the team with better chances (according to Primorje coach
as well - Prasnikar, but he likes to see the guilty parts everywhere else too
I'd add)
Interblock played two tough games lately in the championship and especially
the one vs Domzale (1-2) was a good one and they lost vs Maribor 0-1 in the
added time.
Interblock has Pregelj back for the game, a very important midfield-alrounder
who can handle the ball well and will also be a constant threat next to Rakovic and co.
Prasnikar's Primorje not very convincing lately, but the cup game showed they
are determined to win points again. However if they only want to repeat the
Nafta (1-2) or even Koper game, where they won, but played a defensive
game with counters, I don't see 3 points in for them here.
Slight home advantage with a good chance of a draw again imo.

Domzale - Drava
All but a hdcp win looks like science fiction here. Domzale had a nice "practice"
cup game on Wednesday showing high efficiency (7-1) vs a 3rd divisioner.
Drava on the other hand made a nice gift to the "bottomeers" of Livar and
being the first team to lose points to them. They had a home game which
makes Drava look even more miserable.
They have a new coach with Djuricic, who has a long coach way behind, also
coaching Maribor for a (too) long time, but I doubt he'll make any difference in this short time.
I hope (am quite sure) Domzale are going to take this game more than
seriously, as they need the points to preserve the 1st table place, which is seriously
endangered (at least atm).
2-0, 3-0, 3-1 the possible outcomes imo.

Maribor - Celje
Styrian derby in Maribor today. Celje is arriving after a significant win vs
the unbeaten Domzale adding to that the 6-1 cup win midweek and Maribor
with the new coach Gjurovski managed to take the 3 points in Ljubljana at
the very end, plus winning their cup comfortably 4-1.
Will be a nice clash with many people and good weather. All set for a real
battle imo.
My idea about this game however is a narrow HW. I see a very good spot
as well as opponent for Gjurovski and the team to gain back the fans' trust
and close up with Koper and Domzale infront.
I'm sure Gjurovski had time to implement his ideas during the international
games pause and the week after as well as to prepare for the old fox's team (Pinni).
I really see a tough game there tomorrow, but it's high time Maribor shows
a good and efficient game infront of their fans and also for Celje to lose their
first away game.
The -0.25 @2.05 Pinnacle looks very nice imo!
