Egnatia and Celje will lock horns in an exciting Champions League second qualifying round first-leg encounter, with both teams expected to play attacking football. As both sides are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Wednesday's clash, we predict a 2-2 draw. The Albanian champions come into the clash after a dominant 7-2 aggregate victory over Petrocub in the previous round, underlining their offensive strength. Egnatia have been averaging 2.2 goals per game in their last ten matches, while their fixtures have produced an average of 3.4 goals overall. They have no fresh injury concerns, and forward Ildi Gruda could be rewarded with a starting place after scoring as a substitute in the impressive 6-1 win over Petrocub. The hosts are likely to continue with their aggressive approach, although defensive gaps remain a concern.
Celje also arrive with plenty of attacking confidence after opening their domestic campaign with a thrilling 2-2 draw against Mura. Midfielder Svit Seslar was the standout performer, scoring twice, and he will be the main creative threat for the Slovenian side. Celje enjoyed a strong run of form before this tie, winning seven of their last ten matches and scoring an impressive 2.7 goals per game. They have also been involved in several high-scoring preseason matches, suggesting they will not sit back in Albania. Their away form has been excellent, with three wins from three recent away fixtures and only 0.33 goals conceded per game on the road.
Both teams are attack-minded, with Egnatia averaging 3.4 and Celje 3.6 total goals per match. Therefore, Both Teams to Score seems like a sure bet, alongside Over 2.5 and Over 3.5 goals.
This Champions League match will be played on Wednesday 22 July 2026 at 20:00.
