**Egnatia's looking to flex at home in this Champions League qualifier** — they've been putting up ridiculous scorelines, while Celje just scraped past some solid Slovenian competition. 🔥
Egnatia's last 5 have been wildly inconsistent (2W-1D-2L) but when they're on, they're *on* — see that 6-1 demolition of Petrocub. Celje comes in hot from a 3W-1D-1L run, though they also took an L to Hajduk Split at home, so they can be rattled.
Key storylines:
- **S. Bakayoko and D. Adjessa** lead the Egnatia attack, and if the home crowd gets behind them early, Celje's back line could have a long night
- **M. Kvesić** is Celje's primary threat up top — he'll need space to operate against a fired-up Egnatia side
- Arena Egnatia is a tough spot; Egnatia's home form this cycle has them scoring freely
Expected lineups:
- **KF Egnatia**: M. Dajsinani, A. Xhemajli, E. Sota, Z. Aliyev, E. Ndreca, F. Medeiros, I. Gruda, A. Aleksi, S. Bakayoko, D. Adjessa, J. Montenegro
- **NK Celje**: L. Kolar, A. Tutyškinas, D. Vuklišević, G. Vodeb, Ł. Bejger, D. Hrka, F. Jevsenak, M. Zabukovnik, A. Kotnik, M. Kvesić, M. Avdyli
Best picks:
- **Total Goals Over 1.5**: Over 1.5 goals
Prediction:
**Egnatia 2–1 Celje**. Model leans Egnatia; both teams can score, but the home stripe edges it. ⚪
