Match preview: Sabah vs Celje
Sabah and Celje meet at Bank Respublika Arena for their European League clash (Qualification Round 1). Currently, there are no recent matches recorded between these two teams. Home advantage could be significant here, as Celje tends to have varied performance levels depending on whether they are at home or away.
Team analysis: Sabah
The home side kicks off this edition of the European League aiming for a positive outcome, leveraging their home advantage. Sabah demonstrates limited reliance on home ground benefit, as they have similar results regardless of venue; in their last 30 matches, they earned 3 wins, 8 draws, and 4 losses as the away team, scoring 21 goals while conceding 20. By contrast, their home record includes 5 wins, 9 draws, and 1 defeat, with 18 goals scored and 13 conceded. They arrive at this match following a hard-fought draw away to Qarabağ (2-3) after extra time. Sabah’s record in their last 10 home matches across all competitions consists of 4 wins, 5 draws, and a single loss. Although defensive strength has been a concern, conceding in 9 of those 10 matches, they have consistently found the net, scoring in 9 of the last 10. Of note, they have only turned around the score in 1 of 6 instances when conceding first.
Entering this European League match, Sabah FK arrives as the recent champions of the Azerbaijan Cup 24/25. Under Valdas Dambrauskas, the squad typically employs a 4-3-3 tactical setup, focusing on controlled, slower transitions predominantly through the centre. The attack hinges on Pavol Safranko, Jesse Sekidika, and Kaheem Parris to penetrate the opponent’s defence. The coach is expected to have a full squad at his disposal.
Team analysis: Celje
The visiting side embarks on their European League journey with hopes of securing a positive result on the road. Interestingly, Celje performs better away than at home; in their last 30 matches, they have amassed 8 victories, 5 draws, and just 2 losses away from home, scoring 33 goals and conceding 15. Their home record, however, comprises 7 wins, 4 draws, and 4 losses, with 36 goals scored and 25 conceded. Their last outing in the 1. SNL ended in a 1-1 draw against Domžale at home. In the past 10 away matches, Celje has managed to win 7 and draw 3. Defensive frailties have seen them concede in 8 of those 10 games, highlighting an area for improvement. However, their attack remains potent, scoring in every one of their last 10 fixtures. From 15 matches, they have overturned a deficit in 3 instances out of the 9 games where they conceded the first goal. Notably, 5 of their 11 goals in the last 4 away matches were netted between the 16th and 30th minutes.
NK Celje enters this European League contest after finishing fourth in the Slovenia 24/25 Championship. The team’s tactical approach also mirrors that of Sabah, adopting a 4-3-3 formation, spearheaded by Franko Kovacevic, Danijel Sturm, and Nikita Iosifov in the attack. The midfield comprises Mario Kvesic, Marko Duca, and Clémento Lhernault. Coach Albert Riera will be missing Armandas Kucys due to injury concerns.
