Results analysis

A surprising draw in Slovenia's top tier, as Celje and Maribor played out a 1-1 stalemate. The win extends Celje's run of form, having come off the back of a win against Olimpija Ljubljana. Meanwhile, Maribor's unbeaten streak in their last 5 matches came to an end. The pre-match favourite, Celje's home win, did not come through, with the model's selection ultimately being wrong. The model had picked Celje's home win, but with a low pre-match probability of 57%. The model's selection missed, and their call was incorrect. The model's other selection, Over 1.5, hit, with a pre-match probability of 79.1%.
