Olimpija Ljubljana Team News

In the preparation period, Olimpija played six matches, winning five and losing one. In their last game against Rudar, they emerged victorious with a score of 4-1. They scored two goals in the 23rd minute, both by Mustafa Nukić. In the second half, they extended their lead with a goal from Rui Pedro, and towards the end of the match, Aldin Jakupović also found the back of the net. Rudar managed to score their only goal in the 55th minute.

In the Slovenian PrvaLiga, Olimpija finished as the champions with 73 points, six points ahead of the second-placed team, Celje. Olimpija also clinched the cup title by defeating Maribor 2-1 after extra time in the final.

Svit Seslar played a crucial role in last season’s title-winning campaign, scoring nine goals and providing four assists. He is expected to lead the attack in the upcoming match against Valmiera. Mustafa Nukić is likely to partner with him up front, but we will see what decision coach Albert Riera makes.

Valmiera Team News

In their last league match, Valmiera’s football team secured a convincing 6-0 home victory against Tukums 2000. Statistically, they were a far superior team in this encounter and deservedly outplayed their opponents. Gustavo Silva scored two goals, while Alioune Ndoye, Alvis Jaunzems, Leo Gaucho, and Ruan Ribeiro each contributed with one goal.

Last season, Valmiera finished at the top of the table, while currently, they hold the third position with 34 points from 22 matches played. The league leaders, Riga, have a significant advantage of 21 points over Valmiera.

After their 6-0 victory in the last round, it is unlikely that coach Jurgis Kalns will make significant changes to the starting lineup. This means that Ruan Ribeiro will lead the attack, with Alioune Ndoye and Gustavo Silva providing support behind him. However, it remains to be seen what decision the Latvian coach will make.
