Celje
- Vitor Campelos has Celje set up in a flexible 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 formation, favouring patient build-up, midfield control and structured pressing.
- Celje have won six, drawn two and lost two of their last ten in all competitions.
Egnatia
- Nevil Dede has Egnatia set up in a narrow 3-5-2 or compact back five with a low block, making fast vertical counters their main weapon.
- Egnatia have won four, drawn two and lost four of their last ten, but they're unbeaten in this year's UEFA Champions League Qualification 2026 (W3, D2).
Head-to-Head
- Celje and Egnatia tied 3-3 in last week's first leg.
- That first-leg result is enough to leave a bitter taste for punters, and it suggests that this game could be just as exciting and tight.
Key Players
- Mario Kvesic is their main spark in this competition, scoring two goals in one appearance so far and looking lethal in the final third.
- Eneo Bitri has scored two goals in three appearances in UEFA Champions League Qualification 2026 and he provides Egnatia with a reliable edge in transition.
Betting Insights
- NK Celje come into the match as the clear favorites at 1.4, while KF Egnatia are priced at 8.25 and the draw is 4.7.
- A safe bet on both teams to score at 1.93 covers all bases, especially given that the first-leg score was 3-3.
Prediction
We fancy Celje to edge it, but the first-leg chaos makes it sensible to take the draw no bet on this occasion.
