Celje form and stats

Ihbeisheh (own goal) was the last player to score a league goal for Celje and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Celje haven't scored in 196 minutes.

The Celje crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Maribor here at Stadion Z'dežele in a 1. SNL match.

Prior to that, an away loss at Domzale.

Celje are traveling soon after this match as the 1. SNL match at Tabor Sezana awaits in three days.

Two away games in a row for Olimpija, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-1 versus Aluminij in the 1. SNL. Olimpija were so close to getting something from the game against Aluminij, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal four minutes into overtime.

A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Bravo.

The schedule is very tough for Olimpija now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A 1. SNL game at Radomlje is waiting in only three days.

The visitors have scored 6 goals from 8 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (6 so far).
