Maribor
LDDWWW 📈
Maribor are hoping to win again after their last result, a 1-2 PrvaLiga success over Olimpija Ljubljana.
The only name on the scoresheet from Maribor was Kai Meriluoto (53'). Dino Kojić (8') and Jurgen Çelhaka (15' Own goal) scored for Olimpija Ljubljana.
It’s been a rare occasion in recent times that Maribor haven’t conceded. The reality is that Maribor have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, letting in 5 goals on the way. That being said, we must now wait to see if that pattern shall be replicated here in this match or not.
Celje

There is just one fitness concern for the Maribor manager to be concerned with thanks to an otherwise robust group of players. Karol Borys (Toe injury) won’t play.

Prediction
Our assessment is that Celje and Maribor could find scoring goals difficult here.
Little in this one, and it’s almost too close to call. Therefore, we predict a tight encounter, finishing with a 0-0 score when all is said and done.
