Celje host Omonia with points gap already opening

The gap

Celje took nothing from their opening fixture, a two-goal defeat that leaves them on zero points from one played. Omonia, by contrast, won their first match and carry three points into this trip to Slovenia. A win here would take the visitors to six points from two; defeat would leave Celje still pointless after two rounds.

The market prices this narrowly, with Omonia slight favourites at 37.4 per cent and Celje at 34.6. A draw sits at 28.0 per cent. Recent form offers some explanation for the tight spread: Celje have won one, drawn one and lost three of their last five matches, while Omonia have won three, drawn one and lost one across the same sample.

Lineups had not been announced at the time of writing. Kick-off is at 19:45, with Celje looking to collect their first points of the campaign in front of their own supporters. Omonia, who won their opener, will aim to make it six points from two and climb further up a table currently led by Juventus, Crystal Palace and Sparta Prague on goal difference.
