Flora vs Celje prediction and betting tips - July 10, 2024
In the first qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League, Estonian side Flora will face Slovenian team Celje. The match will take place in Tallinn on Wednesday, July 10th, with the game scheduled to start at 18:00 Central European Time. Experts from Dailysports have provided their predictions for this match.
Flora
Flora dominates in Estonia, but they have little to boast about on the European stage, except for reaching the group stage of the Conference League a couple of years ago.
Notably, in the current season of the local Meistriliiga, Flora has struggled and risks missing out on the championship title for the first time in five years. After 20 matches, the team is in third place, trailing leaders Levadia by 15 points.
Celje
Celje won the national championship for the second time in their history last season. The team finished in first place with a significant lead and secured a spot in the UEFA Champions League.
One advantage for Flora could be their match fitness, as the Slovenian PrvaLiga has not yet started. Celje has played four friendly matches, losing only to Romanian side Oțelul.
Interesting Facts and Head-to-Head
- Flora has won their last three home matches.
- Celje has scored in their last 15 matches but has kept a clean sheet in only one of them.
- The teams have never met before.
Flora vs Celje Prediction
Bookmakers do not believe in the success of the Estonian team over the two-legged tie. Flora indeed falls short in terms of quality, so I would bet on a victory for the Slovenian side.
