Celje vs Slovan Bratislava — Tips & Analysis

Slovan Bratislava +0.25: Slovan Bratislava just do not lose, and that is the simple case for backing them here. They have won 11 of their last 14 games and lost only 1. On the road they have won all seven, scoring 2 goals a game and letting in under a goal a game. They have lost by 2 or more only once in their last 14. Celje have not beaten them either. The three meetings between these clubs read 0W-2D-1L to Celje, and two of them finished 1-1, including the first leg seven days ago. Celje are still a threat at home. They score just over 2 goals a game and their games have had just over 3 goals in them on average. But they are without Bejger and Pisek, so they are short of bodies. Slovan have a problem of their own, with Kukharevych out and Sporar a doubt. Another 1-1 looks the likeliest finish, and Slovan avoiding defeat is all we are asking for. The warning is fair, though. Slovan built that perfect away record mostly against Slovak league teams and weaker European sides, so it looks better than it is. Celje have also had seven days' rest to Slovan's four, and that gap can tell late in a tight game. We still trust Slovan to stay unbeaten.
