Celje host Omonia Nicosia in the Europa League. This is not a fixture the two sides know each other well from, but in the past Celje have tended to be the ones who settle into their own home ground. This time the shape of the game is interesting because Omonia Nicosia arrive on an unbeaten run in their own league. Celje have just won 1-0 in the league, after a stretch that included both a clean sheet and a defeat that did not do much damage. This team have avoided defeat in 3 of their last 5 matches, and at home in the first half they control the tempo well enough not to let opponents take the lead easily. Omonia Nicosia, meanwhile, have just thrashed their league opponents 3-0, following on from a win in their previous Europa League match. The visitors have clearly put more shots on target over their last 10 matches and have slightly more possession, but their defence still concedes more often in the second half than the first. This game should play out in a way that forces Celje to be the ones opening up, because they are at home and want to establish themselves first. Omonia Nicosia should look to wait for counter-attacking moments from their possession advantage. If Celje can take the lead first, the game will go even more the way the hosts want. But if they let the visitors score first, the situation flips immediately.
