Celje form and stats

Overall 1. SNL stats at home this season for Celje are 4-2-3 (wins-draw-losses).

Nothing to worry about in defence for Celje, as their goalkeeper Matjaz Rozman has completely shut out the opponents for 180 minutes in the 1. SNL.

Celje's last game was hosting Koper (placed 4th) and winning 2-0. In the preceding match a 2-0 victory visiting Gorica.

This is expected to be a close game, with Celje perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Celje as a small favourite), we find nine games. Celje has won four of these, drawn three and lost two.

The Celje fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 9 matches. Celje have conceded 9 in these home matches.
