Combo Double chance : draw or Ararat-Armenia and +1.5 goals
Celje are heading into this match in mixed form. They have not won recently, drawing their last two league games with lots of goals (2-2 and 3-3) and losing the first leg of this tie 2-1 away. They do seem capable of scoring, but they also concede quite a bit, which makes their games open and entertaining.
Ararat-Armenia, on the other hand, are in poor shape. They have lost their last five matches in a row, including that first leg win for Celje. They are clearly struggling, finding it hard to get results. While the previous meeting had a few goals, Ararat-Armenia’s poor run of form makes them the weaker side here, so it looks like Celje should win this match.
