Ararat-Armenia vs Celje
📖 The Preview
Celje come into this Champions League knockout tie as the slight favourites and you can see why when you look at the form. Ararat-Armenia have been decent enough, winning five of their last ten, but Celje's consistency stands out even if it's built more on draws than victories. In a one-off elimination game that matters enormously. Ararat will get a goal, the atmosphere and stakes guarantee that, but Celje look just about sharp enough to nick it 2-1 and go through.
