With their 1 point advantage in the league table, Koper fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Celje.
It's no vacation for neither Koper nor Celje as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Celje form and stats
The 1. SNL season is young and Celje, who have the fewest conceded goals (3) away in 1. SNL, have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 2 draws and 1 defeat so far.
There were no winners in Celje's previous match, a 1. SNL home game that ended 1-1 vs Gorica (placed 10th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Olimpija wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Celje as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Celje have seen the ball go into their own net 3 times on the road.
