Mura vs Celje Prediction 20 September 2026
🔊 Mura and Celje meet at the start of the season with both clubs finding themselves unexpectedly close to the bottom of the Slovenian PrvaLiga table. The hosts come into the match with clear problems in terms of results and defence, while the visitors are trying to find some consistency after alternating between wins and defeats. The motivation for both sides is obvious: keeping distance from the relegation zone matters already, despite how early in the season it is.

Head-to-head statistics Mura - Celje

Mura have lost three consecutive home matches
Mura are going through a difficult spell: they have lost three of their last five matches, with one draw. Going into the Celje game, the hosts have gone four matches without a win and have lost three consecutive home matches. Their defence remains the biggest problem - they are conceding an average of 2.33 goals per game this season.
The attack has not been impressive either, with just 11 goals scored in their last ten matches. Their league position adds pressure to perform - Mura are close to the relegation zone, and a defeat in this match would almost certainly drop them into the bottom group.

The reigning champions are still a long way from finding consistency
Celje have had an inconsistent start to the season, and seventh place in the First League table is certainly not what the reigning Slovenian champions were expecting. They have lost 4 of their last 5 matches, and midweek brought a tough trip to Leverkusen. Worth noting is the visitors' more solid defence: they concede an average of 1.38 goals per league game, while their attack shows greater potential, averaging 1.4 goals scored.
