Trimo Trebnje saw off Škofljica 27:37 in the 1. NLB League on Saturday evening. The visitors had already been top of the table before kick-off, and this result only tightened their grip on the summit. The home side remain winless after four matches, sitting ninth with two points from three draws.
Škofljica had looked competitive in recent outings, drawing with Celje and Sloga but losing to Jesenice and Gorica. Trebnje, meanwhile, had started brightly with wins over Koper and Zagreb, though they dropped points against Sloga and suffered a narrow defeat to Cibona. The visitors brought that momentum across the border.
Our prediction called for a Trebnje victory at 66 per cent confidence, and it came good. They didn't need a miracle to win — just the sort of consistency that separates the top teams from the rest. Škofljica had nothing to lose, but they also had nowhere to hide against a side that knows how to close out matches.
The gap at the top is now five points after four rounds. Trebnje have three wins and one loss, while Škofljica's draw-heavy start means they're still searching for that first victory. Cup football has its own rules, but this is league competition, and points matter more than patterns.
Trebnje will travel to face their next opponents knowing the table is responding to their form. Škofljica's task has grown harder — three draws are no longer enough when the teams above are winning games. The scoreboard told the story, and there was no need to embellish it.
