Aluminij vs Celje: match statistics
Celje are the clear favorite in this match, sitting top of the table with an impressive record of 15 wins, 5 draws, and only 2 defeats. The visitors have been unbeaten away from home for a considerable time, winning 64% of their away matches and scoring an average of 2.82 goals per game. Aluminij are in poor home form with just a 30% win rate and a negative goal difference (-4), losing 50% of their home matches. The difference in ball possession quality (49% vs 63%) and shooting accuracy (14% vs 21%) further favors Celje.
