Maribor to Win
In our first Birkirkara vs Maribor prediction, the hosts are the favourite to win the game.

The first duel ended 0-0 back in 2023, the second had a 2-0 scoreline in favour of Maribor and the third meeting ended 1-1. We expect the fourth duel to have goals on only one end of the pitch, noting that Maribor are likely to bag a clean-sheet victory.

Maribor
Maribor on the other hand will have a difficult time trying to defend their point from the reverse fixture.
