Prediction: 2-2
Maribor
All eyes will be on TSC Arena when Vojvodina and Maribor go head to head in a highly-anticipated Europa Conference League qualifier. The Serbs produced a fine display in the first leg despite Slobodan Medojevic’s sending-off and they are surely capable of matching the Violets in front of home fans. The experienced midfielder is banned for the second leg, while talented forward Andrija Radulovic has yet to overcome his injury.
The Slovenian side, on the other hand, are determined to defend their slim lead in Backa Topola. Given Vojvodina’s five-game losing run in all competitions, we predict that Maribor are going to grab their spot in the Conference League playoffs. A man to keep an eye on in the visiting team will be Austria forward Arnel Jakupovic, who scored a brace in the first leg. Ante Simundza has no fresh injury worries ahead of the trip to Serbia.
Highlighted Team (Maribor):
Founded in December 1960, Maribor are the most successful Slovenian club. The Violets won their 14th SNL trophy in 2017, with the team finishing the season 13 points clear of second-placed Gorica. Maribor are the only Slovenian club which made it to the UEFA Champions League group stages (2013/2014), but the likes of Chelsea, Schalke and Sporting Lisbon proved to be a big catch for the Slovenian champions.
The Violets collected only three points from possible 18 in the process and four years later they repeated the success, with the team eliminating Hapoel Be’er Sheva in the Champions League play-offs. Maribor will face the likes of Spartak Moscow, Sevilla and Liverpool in Group E. Speaking of the club’s main rivals, there have always been fireworks in clashes between Maribor and Olimpija Ljubljana.
The two teams face each other in the “Eternal derby” (Vecni derbi) and they represent the two biggest cities in Slovenia. Maribor are well known for their violet for their violet shirts with yellow stripes. Ljudski vrt is the club’s home ground.
