by Nella Wagah in Conference League Predictions
Cypriot side APOEL Nicosia will be traveling to Slovakia to take on Celje in the Conference League knockout round play-off first leg this Thursday. From the six league phase matches, Celje finished 21st and APOEL 11th. On the line is a round of 16 matchup against either Lugano or Djurgårdens. We have the prediction for this match below.
The year 2025 hasn’t started well for Celje, as they have lost twice in as many matches after resuming competitive action. They started off with a 3-2 loss to Bravo then 2-1 to Maribor.
This run is in stark contrast to how they wrapped up 2024. In fact, Celje completed their league phase assignments undefeated at home, winning two of three matches.
APOEL will be wary of the threat they face away to Celje. Only Chelsea and Fiorentina scored more goals than Celje’s 13 in the league phase.
Celje, however, were among the weakest defensively and this is where the visitors will want to hit them hard. That ambition aside, it hasn’t been a great run for APOEL coming into this game.
They’ve managed just a win in their last five matches. The 0-0 draw with Apollon last weekend was their third straight draw and away from home they are winless in four straight matches.
They did win the last two away matches in the Conference League though.
