Nafta Lendava

DDDLLL 📉

Nafta Lendava will be hoping to return to winning ways here after the 2-0 PrvaLiga defeat in their last game at the hands of Domžale.

It’s been seldom in recent times where Nafta Lendava have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that Nafta Lendava have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 games, letting in 12 goals on the way. Regardless, we will just have to wait and see if that pattern will be sustained here in this match.

Celje

WDDWDL

Since being defeated in their last game at the hands of Koper in PrvaLiga action, Celje and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

Celje have regularly broken through opposing defences in the lead-up to this encounter, scoring 15 times in their last 6 matches. While their manager Albert Riera will no doubt take that as a positive sign, Celje can also improve defensively after being scored against in 5 of those same games.

↔️ Head to head

The previous league match featuring these sides was PrvaLiga match day 26 on 16/03/2025 which finished with the scoreline of Celje 3-2 Nafta Lendava.

ℹ️ Team News: Celje

Celje boss Albert Riera has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Nejc Ajhmajer (Knee surgery) and Armandas Kucys (Cruciate ligament tear) are those who can’t be considered.

🔮 Prediction

Our feeling is that Nafta Lendava would be disappointed if they were not to find the net against this Celje lineup, although just one goal possibly won’t quite be enough to prevent defeat.

We can see a very close game with a 1-2 winning margin for Celje when the full-time whistle blows. Let’s wait and see how it plays out.
