Sabah Baku vs Celje PREDICTION & BETTING TIPS - 10 July 2025

Sabah Baku play host to Celje at Bank Respublika Arena in the first leg of the Europa League first qualifying round. The Azeri played out a 2-2 draw with Rapid Bucharest in their last warm-up game, with Joy-Lance Mickels once again getting his name on the scoresheet and, no doubt, the 31-year-old is going to prove a handful for the opposition back-line.

Albert Riera’s men, on the other hand, were producing fine performances in the Conference League last term, with the team making it to the quarter-finals of the competition. Celje are a more experienced side than Sabah Baku when it comes to European competitions and that is probably the main reason why away win should be considered. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Slovenia right-back Zan Karnicnik, who has 38 appearances for the national team.
