The unusual centerpiece of Saturday's schedule comes in the evening at Stožice, where Olimpija welcome Brinje. Olimpija will be seeking a third league victory, while Brinje are described as competitive and difficult opponents.

The round also features Aluminij against Bravo in Kidričevo. The final match comes on Sunday in Celje, where Koper's visit provides the round's derby. The opening match was played in Lendava, followed by the first game in Kidričevo.
