When playing at home in the 1. SNL, Domžale have managed 6 wins, 6 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 17 games.

Domžale are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-3 away versus Mura.

Celje form and stats

There's been little loot from Celje's travels as they have only collected 13 points from 17 away games in the 1. SNL. Celje only have 4 wins to counter their 12 defeats and 1 draw.

A loss against Mura was the result prior to that, in a home game.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Celje playing away and similar expectations, we found 11 relevant matches. Results were 4 Celje wins, 0 draws and 7 defeats.
