Celje

LWWLLL 📉

After being beaten in their last game against Aluminij in PrvaLiga action, Celje and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

In 5 of the previous 6 clashes involving Celje, a notably low volume of goals have been struck between them and opposing teams. The overall average number of goals per game within that spell comes to a mere 2, with the average goals for Grofje standing at 0.83. While that may be of interest, it remains to be seen whether the trend might continue on here in this match.

Going into this contest, Celje have not been beaten by Maribor in away games against them for the last 2 matches in the league.

Out of a mainly full-strength group, there is only the lone fitness problem for the Celje boss Dušan Kosič to contend with. Denis Marandici (Back trouble) won’t be in action.

⚡ Prediction

Our feeling is that Maribor are likely to be able to create a good number of chances & successful shots on target.

However, Celje will not find it easy to get shooting opportunities but we do fancy them hitting back at some stage here, too.

We’re therefore anticipating a comfortable 3-1 winning score for Maribor when the full-time whistle blows.
