Celje vs Slovan Bratislava
Double chance : draw or Slovan Bratislava
Celje and Slovan Bratislava face each other again after drawing 1-1 in their last meeting just a week ago. Celje come into this match in shaky form, having lost two of their last three games and drawn the other two. Their defense has been particularly leaky, conceding two or more goals in three of their last five matches.
Slovan Bratislava have shown better signs lately, picking up two wins and two draws in their last five away games, with only one loss. Their recent head-to-head record against Celje is quite favorable, as they have never lost in their last three encounters, including two draws and a dominant 5-0 victory in 2024. Given Slovan's stronger recent form and historical edge, they enter this match as the clear favorites. This looks like a tight contest, but Slovan Bratislava are more likely to come away with at least a draw or a win.
