The mathematical model predicts a 1-3 scoreline, and the tactical reality supports a high-scoring away win. While injuries to Zabukovnik and Karničnik weaken the visitors' defense, Aluminij's tendency for high-scoring games at home (67% Over 2.5 in last 10 league home games) suggests they will struggle to contain Celje's 2.75 xG per game.
