An exciting game awaits us on Tuesday evening when NK Celje and Flora Tallinn meet in Slovenia in the second leg of the first qualifying round of the Champions League.
NK Celje made it to the qualifying rounds of Europe’s most prestigious tournament for the first time since 2021 after winning a first Prva Liga in four years last season. The Slovenians would have fancied themselves going into the first leg of their clash with Flora, having suffered only one defeat in their final four games of the 2023-24 campaign. Things went according to plan, with Celje hitting Tallinn for five without a reply.
Flora meanwhile are competing in the first round of the Champions League for the second season running. The Estonians have won each of the last two Meistrilliiga titles and are currently chasing another title right now. However, things don’t always go well for them in Europe. The Streakeds with the team on the verge of another elimination in the Champions League first round after being knocked out at this same stage by Raków Częstochowa last season.
NK Celje vs Flora Tallinn Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
Celje didn’t concede a goal in Estonia last weekend but that was a rare clean sheet. Indeed, Damir Krznar’s side boast just three clean sheets from their last nineteen games across all competitions. Three of the last four produced at least four goals, and I fancy a similar outcome on Tuesday.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

NK Celje team news
Despite his penalty miss in the first leg, Aljoša Matko – who scored 18 goals in the league last season – is expected to keep his place in the starting elven for NK Celje and could be supported by Luka Menalo and Armandas Kučys.
Mario Kvesić is pushing for a start in the middle of the park, but he is unlikely to replace either Mark Zabukovnik or Tamar Svetlin who both got on the scoresheet in Estonia.

Flora Tallinn team news
Flora Tallinn head coach Norbert Hurt is expected to make wholesale changes to the side that was on the pitch from kick off in the humiliating defeat in the first leg.
Having come on as second half substitutes in that game, Tony Varjund and Oliver Cekredzi are among those who could benefit from this reshuffle.
