Celje vs Sabah Baku PREDICTION & BETTING TIPS - 17 July 2025

Celje will be looking to defend their narrow lead in the Europa League tie with Sabah Baku when the two teams take on each other at Stadion Z’dezele on Thursday. Celje did well to beat Sabah 3-2 in Azerbaijan and, as a result, they are seen as hot favourites to win this two-legged tie. A man to watch in the home team will be Croatia forward Franko Kovacevic, who scored a brace in the first leg.

The Owls, meanwhile, will have a mountain to climb this time out as they need to overcome the deficit away from home. Over the years Celje have turned their Stadion Z’dezele into a real fortress and given their attacking potential, home win should definitely be considered. Celje defenders should pay special attention to Sabah forward Pavol Safranko, who scored a brace in the first leg. There are no fresh injury concerns in the away team ahead of the trip to Slovenia.
