Above all, the gossip at home against the Klopp team was bitter and Maribor thus set an unwanted record for the highest home defeat in the premier class.
Clearly, the league leaders from the domestic league, the lack of playful class was noted. Partially, the players seemed completely helpless and gave themselves to their fate. With the victory 1-0 victory over Ljubljana at the weekend after all, the championship leadership could be reconquered. In general, the focus in recent weeks has increasingly been on national tasks. It would not be surprising, then, if the guests on Tuesday do not compete in the best but rather spare some players.
