Conference League 2024-2025: Apoel-Celje, the likely lineups

Apoel-Celje, the probable formations

One week apart Apoel and Celje meet again in the return match of the Conference League playoffs. Kickoff at 9 p.m. at the Neo GSP Stadium. After the 2-2 draw in the first leg, qualification is still open even though the Cypriots, who start as favorites, will be able to take advantage of playing in front of their home crowd.

Jimenez has to deal with several absences in defense, including the disqualifications of Dvali and Chebake, in addition to Cano and Antoniou being excluded from the list. È Tejera is likely to be dropped back to the four-man defensive line. Also absent are the injured Sarfo, Karanatsios and Petrovic.

For the visiting lineup, the form will be a 4-3-3, with Kucys at the center of the attack flanked by Seslar and Delaurier-Chaubet. The only one to miss the trip to Nicosia will be Ajhmajer, out due to injury.

Apoel (4-3-3): Belec; Susic, Tejera, Laifis, Quintillà Abagna, Kattirtzis, Galanopoulos; Donis, El Arabi, Marquinhos. Coach: Jimenez.

Celje (4-3-3): Silva; Nieto, Bejger, Nemanic, Karnicnkik; Kvesic, Svetlin, Zabukovnik; Delaurier-Chaubet, Kucys, Seslar. Coach: Riera
