Ljubljana, the reigning champions, are poised to embark on their quest to defend their illustrious title as they set foot on the hallowed Bonifika stadium, pitted against their formidable adversaries, Koper.

Mura had a decent run in their last season's campaign, finishing in the 6th position. Unfortunately, their performance fell short of securing qualification to European competitions, and now they are determined to change the narrative as they gear up for the new season. In preparation for the upcoming challenges, the team has made a few new signings to strengthen their squad. However, during the pre-season, Mura only managed to secure a single victory out of the 4 games played.

They showcased their dominance by clinching the Slovenian Cup with a hard-fought victory against Maribor in extra time. Their performance in the just-concluded season was nothing short of wonderful, leaving them highly motivated as they approach the new season.

In the Champions League qualifiers, they are on the brink of advancement, needing just a win or a draw to secure their spot in the next stage. Their friendly matches have been highly encouraging, as they boast an excellent record with 4 wins from the 5 games played. The team is determined to carry forward their winning momentum and continue their successful run in the upcoming season

Their last 11 encounters produced 7 wins for Ljubljana, 3 wins for Koper, and a draw. Apparently, Ljubljana has gotten the better of Koper in their last 10 games.

The reigning champions hold an impressive record in their head-to-head matches, and they are eager to commence their new campaign with a victory. Our prediction is that Ljubljana will secure either a win or a draw and that the match will see over 1.5 goals, with odds set at 2.00.
