It looks like the home side is expected to win the duel between Radomlje and Olimpija in the Slovenia 1 Prva game that is coming up. With four victories and one defeat in their previous five games, Radomlje's performance lately has been quite good. They've demonstrated their ability to win important games—like their most recent 0-1 triumph against Koper on the road.
In their previous four games, Olimpija has had two victories and two draws, showing an inconsistent form. They proved they could score goals when they 2-2 draw against Banik and Rogaska, but they also showed signs of weakness when they lost to Olimpija.
Although Radomlje appears to have the advantage on paper, will things remain the same during the game?

Radomlje, encouraged by their recent performance, will be looking for more of the same following a 1-0 PrvaLiga triumph against Koper. Gaber Dobrovoljc was the sole name from Radomlje on the scoresheet.
Radomlje hasn't played with much defensive steel in recent games. Radomlje's defence has been compromised in five of their past six games, resulting in 14 goals conceded.
With almost everyone available for selection and a strong roster overall, Oliver Bogatinov, the manager of Radomlje, only needs to worry about one player's fitness. Elvis Letaj is out due to knee surgery.
NK Olimpija Ljubljana
Olimpija Ljubljana and Rogaska tied 2-2 in their PrvaLiga matchup in their prior meeting. The numbers speak for themselves: in six of their last six games, Olimpija Ljubljana has allowed goals, allowing the opposition to score a total of 11 goals against them. Olimpija Ljubljana can do better on defence. Apart from past outcomes, only time will tell if that trend will continue in the next game.
There is just one fitness concern for Olimpija Ljubljana boss Zoran Zeljkovič in an otherwise healthy squad. Matevz Vidovsek will not be playing due to a shoulder issue.
The odds are skewed considerably in favour of Olimpija, which makes sense given their strong recent performance and the striking differences between the two teams. Radomlje's odds of winning indicate that they have an uphill task ahead of them, but in the unpredictable world of football, every underdog has a day.
Though we believe Radomlje will be able to score against this Olimpija Ljubljana team, one goal is probably not going to be as many as they will give up.
Consequently, we believe that both teams will score, giving Olimpija Ljubljana a 1-2 or 1-3 victory after this match. We'll have to wait and see.
