Slovan Bratislava vs Celje Prediction: the Opponents Will Exchange the Goals

Prediction for the UEFA Champions League match between Slovan Bratislava vs Celje, which will take place on July 30th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

Slovan Bratislava had an easy win in the last Slovakian championship, which gave them the right to play in the Champions League qualification. In the last 16, they faced Struga, and it was a breeze—they won 4:2 and 2:1. But the next opponent was Slovenian Celje, and in the first away game, after an instant exchange of goals, Slovan played with ten men from the 30th minute. But they still managed to hold on for a draw (1:1).

Celje is following a similar pattern. At the end of last season, they won the Slovenian championship and had no problems with their opponent in the last 16 of the Champions League qualification. They defeated Flora first 5:0 and then 2:1. In the first game against Slovan, Celje took the lead quickly but conceded and had a power play from the 30th minute. But they still couldn't beat their opponent (1:1).

Celje had a great opportunity to gain the upper hand before the return leg, as they spent 60 minutes of the first leg on the power play. Unfortunately, the Slovenian club didn't shoot a second goal, so now they need to win in Bratislava somehow. Slovan outclasses the opponent, but we won't speculate on the outcome. It's worth mentioning that both teams are scoring consistently, so we're likely to see another goal exchange in the return game. That's what we're counting on.
