Celje form and stats

Celje have collected 14 points from their 1. SNL home games so far after 4-2-2. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Stadion Z'dežele.

In their previous game, the manager S. Sešlar led his Celje to a defeat in the 1. SNL match away at Domžale. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadion Z'dežele.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Mura in a game that was won 1-0.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Celje have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won four, drawn one and lost four.

The Celje fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 12 goals in 8 league matches. Celje's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 9 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Olimpija form and stats

3-2-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Olimpija, who have the fewest scored goals (6) away in 1. SNL, in their 1. SNL matches away.

Olimpija lost away at Aluminij (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. 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.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Olimpija playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were four Olimpija wins, two draws and three defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Olimpija as they have only managed to score 6 times from 8 away games in the league. Olimpija are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 6 times in 8 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
