Maribor Secure Victory, Title Lost as Celje Clinches Championship
Maribor secured a crucial victory against Primorje on Saturday, ending a recent run of poor results. However, the Slovenian PrvaLiga title has already been decided, with reigning champions NK Celje securing their championship status. Koprčani, currently holding the second position, maintain a five-point advantage over Maribor.
Štajerski, formerly known as NK Maribor, are currently level on points with Bravo. This outcome leaves the qualification battle for the upcoming Conference League competition fiercely contested. The second or third place finishes will secure a spot for the other two teams.
Captain Ažbe Jug expressed his dissatisfaction with the team’s performance during the important match. “We are aware that the situation is not good. We are in a position that is not acceptable for NK Maribor,” he stated directly.
Throughout the season, Maribor has suffered three defeats against Celje. The focus now shifts to the remaining matches as teams battle for qualification spots, with Maribor aiming to secure a European berth and Koprčani consolidating their position.
