Mura, a team renowned for its perseverance, has shown to be adroit at combining flare and grit to secure pivotal wins that have thrilled and had its supporters on the edge of their seats. 

Can Maribor, on home grounds, take all three points or will there be a surprise?   

After winning 0–2 in the PrvaLiga against Aluminij, Maribor will be looking to replicate their previous performance. The Maribor defence has shown a great deal of resiliency, as seen by their more recent scorelines. Maribor has played with restraint, as seen by the two goals they have scored in their last six games.

With 15 victories, 7 draws, and 6 defeats so far this season in PrvaLiga, Maribor's record is good overall. At 54% of matches won, Maribor's current PrvaLiga Table ranking puts them third out of ten clubs. With 11 victories, 1 tie, and 2 defeats, Maribor has a very strong home record. Their four victories, six ties, and four losses translate into a respectable away record.

This season in PrvaLiga, Maribor has scored 51 goals in total.

After suffering a setback against Celje in their previous PrvaLiga match, Mura and its supporters will be hoping for a better outcome this time around. We have seen goals 20 times in the last 6 games that Mura have played, resulting in a mean average of 3.33 goals per match, demonstrating their penchant for high-scoring matches. Eleven goals have been scored by their opponents. All that remains to be seen is whether or not this pattern will continue throughout the game.

Mura has 8 wins, 7 draws, and 14 losses so far this season in PrvaLiga, which is a poor overall record. With their current record of 28% match wins, Mura is ranked seventh out of ten clubs in the PrvaLiga Table. Mura has a dismal record at home, with three victories, five draws, and seven defeats. Because they have five wins, two ties, and seven losses on the road, their record is regarded as mediocre.

In PrvaLiga this season, Mura has totalled 31 goals scored.

Maribor should likely dominate the majority of the play and have a strong chance of capitalizing on some of their opportunities based on their style of play. Mura will struggle in this game although they may be able to find the back of the net. 

With a controlled score of 1-0, 2-0, Maribor will win.
