Maribor’s title aspirations have diminished considerably following a draw in the final First League match, a result that has frustrated the Steiermark team for four years. Feđa Dudić’s squad has maintained an undefeated record during the spring portion of the championship. However, a high number of draws continues to hinder their efforts to close the gap with the leading Celje team.
Currently, Celje holds a commanding advantage of nine points. With only eight remaining matches, this lead presents an almost insurmountable challenge for Maribor. The Violet’s have a limited number of players who represented Slovenia during the recent break.
Notably, David Pejičić, a promising young talent, is among them. Pejičić, aged 18 and hailing from Sempet pri Gorici, transferred to the Styrian capital with the aim of playing for Maribor. He recently scored a goal in a significant victory for Slovenia’s youth team against the stronger Norway.
The situation remains precarious for Maribor as they strive to overcome Celje’s substantial lead.
