Maribor vs Aluminij: Soccer betting preview

It's no vacation for neither Maribor nor Aluminij 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.

Maribor form and stats

Maribor, who have the fewest conceded goals (23) in 1. SNL, have performed well at Ljudski vrt so far this season with 8 wins from 14 matches. Points have also been lost, as they have drawn 5 games and lost 1. Maribor has a nice streak going on as they have played 18 consecutive games without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Olimpija defeat. It’s been three wins in a row for Maribor here at Ljudski vrt, hoping to make this one the fourth consecutive victory.

The home team returns to Ljudski vrt after sharing the points with Mura on their last time out; the 1. SNL game ended 2-2. 1-1 away at Mura before that.

The manager D. Milanič will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Gorica in only four days.

Goals decide football matches and Maribor are scoring many of them at home; 29 on target from 14 matches. Maribor are not conceding a lot of goals here at Ljudski vrt, averaging less than one per game. The total is 11 from 14 matches.

Aluminij form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Aluminij so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 3-1-10 (win-draw-lose). six defeats in a row for Aluminij in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Gorica.

Aluminij are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the 1. SNL against Triglav. Preceding that game, the 0-4 loss visiting Olimpija's place.

After this away game Aluminij return home for a 1. SNL game against Domžale. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Aluminij find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 15 goals from 14 away fixtures. The Aluminij manager O. Bogatinov has some worries about the defense as 29 goals have been conceded in these travels.
