Koper

LLLWLD

Koper prepare for this fixture following a 1-1 PrvaLiga drawn game against Radomlje.

The only scorer from Koper was Timothé Nkada (75'). Gaber Dobrovoljc (90') was the scorer for Radomlje.

Koper have not been the best at stopping their opponents recently, although they have also found ways to convert their own chances into goals. Over their last 6 matches, Koper have seen their goal breached in 6 of them while also scoring in 6 of those matches. That kind of pattern isn’t assured to follow through into this game, of course.

Aluminij

WDLLDL

Since being defeated in their last game at the hands of Maribor in PrvaLiga competition, Aluminij and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

Arnel Jakupović (30') and Hillal Soudani (47') scored for Maribor.

It has become apparent that Aluminij have suffered from a lack of goals over their last 6 clashes, netting the poor return of just 4. In those matches, Šumari have also seen the collective goal tally of opposing teams equal 7.

👥 Head to head

A look at their past head-to-head clashes stretching back to 23/09/2021 shows us that Koper have won 3 of them and Aluminij 2, with the tally of drawn games standing at 1.

In all, 21 goals were shared by the two clubs in these games, with 12 for Kanarčki and 9 belonging to Šumari. That is an average goals per game value of 3.5.

The last league fixture between these sides was PrvaLiga match day 21 on 16/02/2024 which ended up with the score at Aluminij 1-2 Koper.

💡 Prediction

Our thinking is that Koper will most probably dominate possession and create several successful chances.

However, Aluminij are also probably going to find it difficult to get shooting opportunities but we do fancy them being dangerous for periods.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a pretty comfortable 3-1 victory for Koper by the time that the referee blows the final whistle.
