Tip and bets

2.02both teams to score

The visiting team is in excellent form, which cannot be said for the home side ahead of the upcoming match. We believe the guests will not adopt a defensive playing style. They will aim to push forward and, at the very least, score within the 90 minutes of play. However, it's unlikely they will keep a clean sheet.

Our prediction is that both teams will score with odds of 2.02

Bet on Match Outcome

We disagree with bookmakers who firmly believe in a Portuguese victory. The Slovenian team is equally strong, and even in the event of a loss, it is unlikely to exceed a margin of one goal.

Our prediction is an Asian handicap of (+1.5) on Celje with odds of 1.72.

Bet on Corners

An attacking style of play rarely results in a low number of corner kicks. We are confident that both teams can achieve a total of nine corners.

Our prediction is over 8.5 corners with odds of 1.75.
