Gorica - Nafta
Gorica's coach Mladenovic who had a heart attack at the end of their Drava game is feeling
better and that's another good news besides their first at all HW this season which was quite
lucky at the end though they were already up 4-2. Meaning they still have work to do when
it comes to defence especially when they should be the pace making side.
Though Gorica managed not to lose in their last 7! games they were mostly playing defensively
taking care of not losing as the bad series had to come to an end. Mladenovic then started
to think of the more attacking way and then his accident happened.
Gorica is expected to attack at home of course even more so as they still are bottom of the table
and they simply don't have much choice. Their attackers are quite far from being the threat
they used to be and the fact they scored 4 vs 'unexperienced' Interblock doesn't change a lot.
Additionally they're without their best forward Velikonja and the missings only start with him.
Goran Galešič, Matej Mlakar, Sebastijan Komel, Mitja Pirih - 1st keeper, Amadej Vetrih and Bojan Đukič
are all absent and they are all more or less 1st choice players.
Still with Osterc, Demirovic and some others they'll imo be able to create goal chances.
Nafta on the other hand has only lost 1/7! championship games recently and is top of the tables
when it's about form. Vucicevic seems to be successful with his changes and after he is
fieldieng the best prepared men (as he stated) and not the 'stars' (Jankovic playing 10-15'
lately f.e.) he has also managed to get more agression and attacking minded players.
Though not losing they stilll have problems with their away games which was also demonstrated
in Ljubljana vs Interblock.
Over seems best option here imo as we have weakened Gorica who're in need of points though
and expected to go forward having a bad defence and on the other hand Nafta who'll also
play their attacking game and as usual create many chances. I have a feeling Gorica could
take something here and though weakened they could win it with some luck, but my main
choice here is OVER @1.73 though again my totals are not always best thing to follow
