LokaDrawSlovan
Loka hosts Slovan in the 1. NLB Liga on 30 October 2026, a matchup between the sixth-placed home side and the league leaders. Slovan arrive as favourites, having won eight of their opening nine matches to sit clear at the top of the Slovenian top flight.
Team form
Loka
Loka have taken 11 points from nine games with five wins, one draw and three defeats. Their recent run shows inconsistency: they lost 26-31 away to Trimo Trebnje last time out, but before that won 35-32 at home against Skofljica and edged a tight away contest 26-25 at Ivancna Gorica. Over their last five matches, Loka have scored 28.4 goals per game but conceded 30.8, indicating a leaky defence that has struggled to keep pace with their attacking output.
Slovan
Slovan are the standout performers in the league. They have won eight matches and lost only one from their nine games, accumulating 16 points to lead the standings by a clear margin. Their recent form is dominant: they thrashed Skofljica 46-28 at home, beat Tatabanya 36-31 away in European competition, and defeated Ivancna Gorica 34-25. Over five matches, Slovan have averaged 35.4 goals scored and just 28.2 conceded—a commanding attacking and defensive balance that reflects their league position.
Head-to-head
No previous meetings between these sides are available in the record.
Key factors
Slovan's offensive prowess is the defining feature of this contest. Averaging 35.4 goals per game over their recent stretch, they possess a clinical edge that Loka's defence, which has conceded 30.8 per game, will struggle to contain. Slovan have also proven their ability to perform away from home, winning on the road against Tatabanya and Ivancna Gorica. Loka will need to tighten their backline and capitalize on home advantage, but their recent results suggest they lack the consistency to trouble a side of Slovan's quality. The visitors' only league defeat came against Celje, showing they are not invincible, yet Loka have not demonstrated the form required to exploit such vulnerabilities.
Prediction
Slovan's eight wins from nine games, combined with their superior goal-scoring average and defensive solidity, make them the favourite. Loka have shown they can win at home—their 35-32 victory over Skofljica proves that—but Slovan's attacking firepower and league-leading position suggest the visitors will edge this encounter. The expected goal balance favours Slovan, with their attacking threat likely to prove decisive.
Slovan are the more likely winner. The visitors' consistency at the top of the table, their averaging over 35 goals per game, and their proven away form all point to an away victory. Loka will compete at home, but Slovan's quality should prevail in what promises to be an entertaining encounter for viewers new to the sport.
