A place in the Champions League third qualifying round will be at stake when Celje and Egnatia face each other in the second leg after an entertaining 3-3 draw in Albania. As Celje are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we predict a 2-1 home win. The Slovenian champions showed great character in the first meeting, fighting back on several occasions, with Mario Kvesic stealing the headlines by scoring twice. Celje have been in excellent attacking form of late, averaging 2.50 goals per game across their last ten matches, while remaining unbeaten in each of their previous four competitive outings. The hosts have also found the net in every one of their last ten matches, and with home support behind them, they will be confident of finishing the job.
Egnatia proved in the first leg that they are more than capable of troubling Celje's defence. The Albanian champions have scored nine goals across their last two Champions League qualifying matches and are expected to stick to their attacking philosophy despite playing away from home. The only concern for the visitors is the injury to Soumaila Bakayoko, who limped off in the first leg, with Daniel Adjessa likely to replace him. Egnatia have averaged 2.50 goals per game over their last ten outings, but their defence has been less convincing, conceding 1.30 goals per match.
As home advantage and impressive recent attacking form give the Slovenian champions a slight edge, we are tempted to bet on Home Win, alongside BTTS and Over 2.5 goals (Two attack-minded teams should produce another entertaining, high-scoring encounter).
This Champions League match will be played on Tuesday 28 July 2026 at 19:15.
