The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Celje are in the 4th position while the guesting Bravo worry at 8th.

Celje form and stats

Celje, who have the most clean sheets (9) in 1. SNL, are steadily winning 1. SNL games and points here at Stadion Z'dežele. 7 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat is the summary from 11 games. Two home wins in a row for Celje bring valid hopes of a third.

The Celje goalkeeper is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 293 minutes without conceding a goal in the 1. SNL.

Celje's previous game was a 1. SNL match also played at home, ending 2-0 versus Aluminij (placed 3rd). The home side are looking to build on that result. In the game before, an away victory match versus Tabor Sežana with a 4-0 scoreline.

The home team are expected to win this game about three out of four times, according to the bookmaker odds. When checking the database for Celje home games with this odds we find one game with a similar winning chance. Resulting in one win, zero draws and zero defeats. Looking at the victories, one match were won by at least two goals.

There will be little rest for Celje after this match as they are travelling to Domžale for a 1. SNL game in only four days.

Bravo form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Bravo so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-7 (win-draw-lose).

Bravo go into this game after a win, the home game against Tabor Sežana that ended 2-1. Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to Mura.

R. Baturina came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Tabor Sežana last time out, making the manager D. Grabič feel like a tactical genius.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Bravo played away with similar odds. This revealed two games. The visitors overcame the odds to win zero times, zero were draws and the home team won as expected two times.

After this away game Bravo return home for a 1. SNL game against Aluminij. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Bravo find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 13 goals from 10 away fixtures in the league. Bravo are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 13 goals in these matches.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the Bravo - Celje 2-2 played earlier this season. Head-2-head stats last two meetings: zero - two - zero (Celje wins - draws - Bravo wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), zero had two or less.
