Celje vs APOEL Prediction & Tips
‘Celje
The team managed to become Slovenian champions last season. This is the second success in their history, which will certainly not be repeated now. The first part of the season in the domestic arena was a failure for the ‘Counts’, and they went to the winter break with a disadvantage of more than a dozen points behind the leader ‘Olimpija’, without even being in the top 4.
In European competitions, they did not achieve much in the beginning either. In the Champions League they finished second in the standings: they overcame ‘Flora’, but were defeated by ‘Slovan Bratislava’. In the Europa League there was an exchange of victories with ‘Shamrock Rovers’, but the Irish scored more. However, in the Conference League they overcame ‘Pyunik’ and beat ‘Istanbul’ and ‘New Saints’. This, together with a 3-3 against ‘Jagiellonia’, was enough for the playoffs, despite defeats against ‘Vitória Guimarães’, ‘Betis’ and ‘Pafos’.
‘APOEL
The club set a national record of winning championships in 2024, winning its first title in five years. Currently, the representative of Nicosia has dropped positions and is almost fifteen points behind the current leader ‘Pafos’.
The Cypriots started by beating ‘Petrocub’ in the Champions League. But then they were defeated by ‘Slovan’: 0-2 in Bratislava and a goalless draw at home. Then there was a surprising elimination in the Europa League, by RFŠ after a 2-1 win and a penalty shoot-out. However, in the Conference League they had only one defeat, at home against ‘Borac’, with wins over ‘Fiorentina’, ‘Molde’ and ‘Noah’, and draws with ‘Shamrock Rovers’ and ‘Astana’.
