Football ratings in Slovenia
Slovenia has a well-developed sports infrastructure, and consequently, Slovenians have won medals in national teams in various team sports such as handball, football and basketball.
Despite its predominantly mountainous geography, Slovenia enjoys several sports, including athletics, basketball, boxing, handball, ice hockey, tennis, skiing and swimming. But the most popular sport, by far, remains football.
Betting on football in Slovenia
The football championship in Slovenia is the Prva Slovenska Nogometna Liga, often abbreviated to 1. SNL.
Among the most recognized teams in Slovenia, experienced football bettors will probably mention Maribor. NK Maribor has never been relegated since the country's independence in 1991. It is the team with the most national titles and regularly qualifies for European competitions. It is the only team in the Slovenian league that has managed to reach the group stage in the Champions League and the Europa League.
The majority of the teams are located in the capital Ljubljana, including Olimpija, which plays a highly competitive derby against Maribor.
Betting on the Prva Liga
The first division of football in Slovenia comprises only ten teams. The football championship in Slovenia runs from July to June. During the 1. SNL season, each team plays each other four times: twice at home and twice away, which means 36 games per team.
There is no playoff at the end of the season for the top teams. The champion qualifies to play in the first round of the Champions League qualifiers in the following season. The three subsequent teams participate in the Conference League, where they will also have to go through a playoff to reach the group stage. Make bets on the Europa League Conference; bwin is one of the main sponsors.
The team that finishes the season at the bottom of the league is automatically relegated to the second division. The second to the last-place team will play off against the third-to-last to avoid relegation. Place your bets on the 2. SNL on our online betting platform.
