Celje vs Apoel Prediction 13 February 2025
🔊 Will the Slovenians recover from their poor start after the break? In the first playoff match of the Conference League, we will see a meeting between Celje and APOEL. It is crucial for the hosts to secure a home victory to head to Cyprus with an advantage. However, considering they lost their previous two matches, achieving success will be very challenging for them. Moreover, Celje will be facing a quite experienced European competition contender. In this prediction, we will discuss which bet will be optimal.
Head-to-Head
There are no matches in the history of the teams' head-to-head meetings.
Head-to-head statistics Celje - Apoel
Celje Team Overview
For Celje, very entertaining matches without a midfield are characteristic, where there is always room for goals. This is a hallmark of the Slovenian team, but it doesn't always allow them to achieve the desired result. For example, in the last two league matches, they conceded five goals, which ultimately left them with no points. As a result, Albert Riera's protégés have dropped to fifth place in the standings. Morally, it's quite challenging to get ready for an important European cup match after such outcomes.
Match Results: Celje
APOEL Nikosia Team Overview
Previously, APOEL was the main powerhouse of the Cyprus championship, but in recent years, the situation has changed significantly. In the current season, the team is only in fifth place, showing very inconsistent play. Here, large victories can alternate with goalless draws, and unexpected defeats also occur. Even in the Conference League, there were similar surprises. In the first two rounds, APOEL earned only one point, but then sensationally defeated Fiorentina (2:1), which marked the beginning of their momentum.

⚽️ Prediction on Goals
High scoring is observed in matches involving both teams. In Celje's last three official matches, at least three goals were scored. Similarly, in the Cypriot championship, APOEL has seen a total of 66 goals (48 for and 18 against) over 22 rounds. Therefore, we recommend betting on Total goals over 2.5.
🚩 Prediction on Corners
The fast-paced game with numerous attacks that Celje regularly engages in inevitably leads to a high number of corner kicks. For the Slovenian team, this currently stands at 10.5 corners per match. So, in this case, it's worth considering a bet on Total corners over 9.5.
Editorial Prediction
Both teams can be considered highly unpredictable in terms of results, as they focus on attack and often forget about defense. However, it can be said for certain that Celje will find it difficult to secure a home victory. After all, the current form of the Slovenian team leaves much to be desired, and the opponent is quite formidable. We predict that the match will end with a score of 2:2. As a key bet, our editorial team chooses Total goals over 2.5.
