In
Palermo this Thursday is starting new season in
Europa League. They are not in competive rhythm, because
Serie A League didn't start yet. That's how the players of
Unione Sportiva Cittá di Palermo don't know yet if they are ready for this kinfd of matches and if they will have problems with guests of
Maribor. The home team is certainly favourite of this match.
NK Maribor is already in full competive rhythm, they won against Nafta from Lendava in 4th round of 1. Slovenian League on Saturday with result 3:1 and came on top of championship scale. In Europa League Maribor defeat in second round Videoton from Hungary and then in third round Hibernian from Scotland. Maribor know well that hosts are favourites, but they will give all of their power, because they are in really good form

Weather forecast for this match is very good with sunny weather and under very hot conditions, what players of
Maribor showed that they can play in this kind of conditions already on both matches against Hungarian
Videoton.
The referees of this match will be from
Scotland, main referee will be
Douglas McDonald.
There were no matches between this two teams.
Maribor is aware of danger of
Palermo players, which are much better in quality as Maribor players. But guests are in full rhythm and it's hard to stop them, maybe they can start to play bad if they will get a quick goal from
Palermo , but they showed already that they don't give up. I doubt that players of
Palermo are ready, despite they didn't play non of championship matches yet, and I think that
NK Maribor can surprise in
Palermo. I will play on tie result, because I think that players of Palermo will underestemate guests from
Maribora.
Best odds on
tie result are on
Interwetten, Bet365 and
MyBet.
