Olimpija vs Borac Prediction 20 February 2025
🔊 Can the Slovenians overcome a one-goal deficit? In the second leg of the Conference League playoff match, Olimpija Ljubljana will face Borac Banja Luka. The team from Bosnia and Herzegovina defeated their opponent at home with a score of 1-0, which gives them a good chance of advancing to the next stage. However, maintaining this advantage in an away match, while being the underdog, will be extremely challenging. In this prediction, we will discuss what exactly to expect from this encounter.
Head-to-Head
In 2019, Olimpia proved stronger in a friendly match with a score of 3:2. Borac managed to secure a victory in the first leg of the playoff match a week ago with a score of 1:0.
Head-to-head statistics Olimpija - Borac
Olimpija Ljubljana Team Overview
Olimpija has already secured its third consecutive victory in the Slovenian championship after the break, displaying a very vibrant attacking performance. However, in the Conference League, the team's position has become quite precarious as they failed to score against the Bosnians. The defeat by Borac (0:1) in the first match significantly complicated life for the club from Ljubljana, and it was absolutely deserved.

Borac Banja Luka Team Overview
Borac Banja Luka had an outstanding performance in the first playoff match and deserved a more convincing victory, but ultimately managed to score the only goal only at the end of the match. The minimal difference leaves the opponent a chance to fight for a place in the Conference League round of 16, especially since the Bosnians have lost two out of three away matches in this tournament edition.

⚽️ Goal Prediction
On the road, Borac Banja Luka will attack significantly less actively than in the first match. It is necessary for Olimpija to push forward, as they performed poorly in the front line last time, so a large number of goals from the Ljubljana team is not expected. Therefore, it is worth considering a bet on Total goals under 2.5.
🚩 Corner Prediction
The average indicators for the teams remain unremarkable, with just 8.8 and 8.7 corner kicks per game. However, in the first match of this head-to-head, we saw a total of ten corners. So our editorial team suggests betting on Total corners over 8.5.
Editor's Prediction
Olimpija failed the first match due to a sending off at the start of the second half. However, the Slovenians managed to escape with just a minor scare, losing by only one goal. And Borac Banja Luka clearly won't try to play open football, considering the need to maintain their minimal advantage. In such a game, the hosts have a chance to recover from their recent setback. We believe that in regular time Olimpija will win with a score of 1:0.
Any goal in this encounter will be worth its weight in gold. Moreover, both teams' conversion of chances is significantly lacking, as seen from the statistics of the first head-to-head match between them. Therefore, we recommend betting on Total goals under 2.5.
