NK Aluminij vs NK Gorica Prediction: Escaping relegation is the top priority here

What an amazing season it was in the Slovenia Prva League. Gorica managed to escape relegation but will have to fight for a spot next season in the playoffs. They play Aluminij on Thursday in the first leg of the playoffs and we expect a very entertaining game. Please see the carefully prepared tips for you.

Aluminij finished second in the second division of the Slovenian Premier League and they’ll have to go through the promotion playoffs in order to secure a spot in the Slovenian Premier League next season. Aluminij has a wonderful record in the second division with overall league statistics of; 19 wins, 7 draws, and 4 losses from a total of 30 games played. Can they ease past Gorica in both legs and secure promotion to the First division?

Gorica has struggled significantly since the beginning of the season, finding themselves at the bottom of the table with only a handful of league victories. The victory in their last league game propelled them towards the playoffs. Their overall league statistics illustrate their challenging campaign, with 5 wins, 12 draws, and 19 losses from 36 games. Gorica's fate hangs in the balance as they approach this crucial fixture to determine their fate next season.

A critical look at the last 7 games between them produced 4 wins for Aluminij, a win for Gorica, and 2 draws.

This game is more important than every other game they’ve both played and fumbled this season, it determines who goes through to the Premierships and who gets relegated next season. Looking at the H2H statistics above, we see that Aluminij has gotten the better of Gorica in their last 7 games. We expect a very tight game with little or no goals in the first half. The first half draw is our first option at 2.20 odds.

Another great prediction is a total of under 3 goals in the game as we expect a low-scoring game.
