Model insights
The two sides
Slovan Bratislava carry a model rating of 6.54 against 6.28 for Celje. The scale is anchored so that an average side in one of Europe's big five leagues sits at 6.85, and it is adjusted for the strength of each team's league, so the two numbers are comparable even across borders.
Recent form (most recent last): Slovan Bratislava W-D-W-W; Celje D-L-W.
What the model expects
Under the hood the model expects 2.21 goals for Slovan Bratislava and 0.98 for Celje. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Slovan Bratislava rate 0.66 in attack and 1.23 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Celje rate 0.57 and 1.77.
That points to 62% for over two and a half goals and 56% for both teams to score.
The three most likely scorelines are 2-0 (10%), 2-1 (10%), 1-1 (9%).
