Approaching the top sides is at stake when these two mid-table sides battle it out. Both will be trying to strenghten their league table standing, Celje in 6th and Mura in 5th position.
- Celje have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Mura have the most points from losing position (11) in 1. SNL
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Celje and Mura.
Celje form and stats
When playing at home in the 1. SNL, Celje have managed 3 wins, 2 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 7 games.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Celje, as their goalkeeper Florijan Raduha has completely shut out the opponents for 203 minutes in the 1. SNL.
Celje drew their last game, 0-0 away at Radomlje (after extra-time, 3-4 on penalties) (placed 10th).
Before that match, a 1. SNL win away at Aluminij.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 one and lost four.
The Celje fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 11 goals in 7 league matches. On the other hand, Celje have conceded 9 goals.
Mura form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Mura so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 1-4-2 (win-draw-lose). It's three draws from Mura's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.
Mura delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Bravo (after extra-time, 2-3 on penalties) (placed 4th) in their previous match; a Slovenian Cup game.
A 2-2 draw at Radomlje's stadium before that.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Mura playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were five Mura wins, one draw and four defeats.
The schedule is very tough for Mura now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Europa Conference League game at Rennes is waiting in only four days.
Mura are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 9 away goals from 7 games (in the league). Mura have conceded 12 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
The latest recorded match involving both these contenders is the Mura - Celje 1-0 played previously this season. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: one - four - five (Celje wins - draws - Mura wins). As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), seven had two or less.Top Goalscorers
