Celje and Salzburg meet in the Europa League tonight, and both sides' previous match in this competition ended badly. Celje lost 0-2, while Salzburg were beaten 0-4, so this is a game where both teams want to take points back to steady themselves. Celje have come back unbeaten in the league in consecutive matches, but their attack is still not sharp, scoring only a goal per game. Salzburg, meanwhile, are on a winning run in the league and scored as many as 3-0 in their latest match, but when they go out and play in the cup they get hammered 0-4, so the gap lies in their defence when they face a team that can press continuously. If Salzburg score first, they will get to play the game they are good at and push Celje deeper into their own half. But if Celje can hold the game until the late stages, it may end with a margin as small as the home side want.
