HNK Gorica vs Koper Prediction: A win or draw for the visitors

In the 22nd round of the Slovenia Prva League, Koper will square off against Gorica at the Sportni Park. The visitors lost a penalty that would have gotten them a draw in their last match while the hosts managed to go home with a point last week. Please see the carefully prepared tips for you below.

Gorica (9th) DLDDL

Gorica managed to steal a point against Randomlje on Sunday last week. The game ended in a 1-1 draw all thanks to a late 94th-minute goal from Luka Vekic to give Gorica hope again.

Gorica has performed so poorly since the start of the season, they are at the bottom of the table having managed only 2 league wins this season. Their overall league statistics are; 2 wins as said earlier, 8 draws, and 11 losses from a total of 21 games played. The last time they won a game was in September of 2022. Can they get another win on home grounds?

Koper (4th) LWWDD

Koper went down to the fourth position in the league table after their disappointing loss against Maribor last week. They had an opportunity to equalize in the second half, but Bede Amarachi Osuji lost the penalty and blew the team's golden opportunity. The game ended in a 0-1 victory to Maribor.

Koper has demonstrated consistent performance both at home and away this season, they have achieved 10 wins, 5 draws, and 6 losses in 21 matches played. They are now in 4th position, closely trailing behind Maribor and NK Celje with a point in between them.

Koper will now aim to get back to winning ways and get their first win of the year on Sunday against Tabor. Andrej Kotnik leads the team's efforts on goals with a total of 9 goals scored in the league this season. Let’s hope he gets a goal on Sunday.

Expert Betting Tips

Comparing the current form of both teams is a disrespect to Koper, Koper is way stronger and in a much better form when compared to Gorica. Ordinarily, I will predict a straight win for Koper, but I'd like to be more conservative and I’ll also predict a win or draw for Koper with a total of over 1.5 goals scored. Koper hasn't scored a league goal this year. They’d give everything to score goals in this game.

Still leveraging on the goals options, I’ll predict for Koper to score a minimum of two goals in this game. We might also see a goal from Gorica, but the best bet is for Koper to score an over 1.5 goal or a total of over 2.5 goals scored. This is because Koper has scored at least a goal in the last 5 meetings between them.
