Sigma Olomouc vs Celje prediction: EUROPE: Conference League – League phase betting tips on match 2025-11-26 17:45.
[p]Sigma Olomouc attempt to extend a lengthy unbeaten run against Celje, who have been one of the UEFA Conference League’s surprise packages this season.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Sigma Olomouc kick-started their Conference League campaign earlier this month when, having picked up a solitary point from two games (D1, L1), they beat Noah 2-1. That served as their first-ever victory at this stage of a European tournament, while also ending a six-match winless streak in continental football (D1, L5), with each defeat coming to nil. One of those defeats was a 2-0 reversal to Fiorentina in October, since when they are unbeaten in eight outings across all competitions (W4, D4), while scoring at least twice in each of the last four, including a 2-2 stalemate with Dukla Prague at the weekend.[/p]
[p]Celje have made their best-ever start to a European campaign, entering this round as one of three teams with a 100% winning record in the competition (W3) and with two points more than they amassed in the entire league phase last season! Their continental form contributes to a run of five games without defeat in all competitions (W4, D1), which was boosted by a 2-0 success at DomĹľale on Saturday. Managed by ex-Liverpool man Albert Riera, Celje are also tough to beat in away games, winning three in a row in Europe for the first time in their history, with each victory accompanied by a clean sheet.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Sigma Olomouc are facing Slovenian opposition for the first time. Celje’s previous two meetings with Czech teams came this summer in the qualifying round for the Conference League, beating Banik Ostrava 3-0 on aggregate (W2). [/p]
