Omonia’s three home wins, two clean sheets and an average of two goals per home game contrast sharply with Celje’s zero goals scored and a two‑goal concede rate. Even with four Omonia players unavailable, their recent form indicates they will at least avoid defeat. The expected low‑scoring nature of Celje’s games and Omonia’s modest away scoring suggest the total will stay under 2.5 goals.

Match preview
Celje enter the Europa League tie having failed to find the net in their sole appearance, a 2‑0 loss away to Bayer Leverkusen, and they have conceded an average of two goals per game. Their recent five‑match run includes just one home win (1‑0 over Aluminij) and three defeats, highlighting both offensive and defensive struggles. Omonia Nicosia arrive in strong form, unbeaten at home with three straight victories, scoring six goals while keeping two clean sheets. Their overall record of three wins, one draw and one loss shows they can both attack and defend effectively. Celje are missing defender J. Pisek through a knee injury, while Omonia have four players unavailable or injured, yet their recent performances suggest the absences have not hindered their home dominance. The match is likely to be decided by Omonia’s attacking edge and Celje’s inability to score.
