The Slovenian side Celje looks ever closer to a UEFA Champions League main draw appearance as they prepare to host Slovan Bratislava. This will be the return leg match with the tie currently poised at 1-1. Though playing away, Bratislava remain a formidable opponent here, and our prediction backs them to avoid defeat.
Apart from the xG in the first leg, Celje almost matched Slovan Bratislava blow for blow. They controlled 51% of the possession, though failing to make the most of it.
Celje are, however, unbeaten in four competitive matches. The hosts lost just once in the last nine matches, but five ended up as draws.
Slovan Bratislava have never lost this fixture. This is their fourth meeting, and the Slovak side will be targeting a second win over Celje. The first came in 2024 as they blanked this opponent 5-0.
That win is sandwiched between two 1-1 draws, the most recent having been recorded last week. This H2H aside, the visitors take into this encounter a 10-game unbeaten run.
In that period they managed seven wins, and Celje are one of the two sides that stopped Slovan Bratislava from winning. Bratislava warmed up for this encounter with a win in their domestic league, beating Kosice 2-1.
