Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Celje goalkeeper Matjaz Rozman is eager to challenge this, with his 189 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Koper in the Slovenian Cup.

A quick return to home after this game, as Celje are hosting Koper in the 1. SNL only three days away.

The attacking power of Celje when travelling is not overwhelming with 10 goals scored from 17 league matches away. 17 goals have been conceded by Celje in these games.
