No Previous Meetings

This is going to be the first head to head match between Omonia Nicosia and Celta Vigo.

Hosts Were Lucky in the Playoffs

Omonia Nicosia battled against St Truiden in the Europa League qualifying playoffs, and things didn't look great in Belgium where they suffered a 1-0 loss.

Henning Berg’s side delivered an outstanding performance in the reverse tie, winning 4-2 at home where Lois Diony was the hero, scoring a hat-trick. The Cypriot side had 3.38-1.85 xG and 19-15 shots in this match.

Omonia have been struggling on their domestic scene since, losing the Super Cup to Pafos 1-0, while winning just one out of three league contests.

Sky Blues Still Winless This Season

Celta Vigo automatically qualified for the Europa League main stage after finishing sixth in La Liga in the previous season.

Claudio Giraldez's side is struggling in the new campaign though, claiming just four points in six games and are still winless.

All three of their September appearances ended without a winner, three straight draws against Real Sociedad 0-0, Getafe 1-1 and most recently Malaga 1-1.

Omonia (4-3-3) Fabiano; Alpha Diounkou, Senou Coulibaly, Stefan Simic, Jure Balkovec; Mateo Maric, Luuk Brouwers, Novica Erakovic; Jaden Montnor, Andronikos Kakoulli, Ewandro

Defender Fotios Kitsos remains sidelined due to an ongoing fitness issus, but he is the only concern for the home side.

Celta Vigo (3-4-3) Ionut Radu; Javi Rodriguez, Yoel Lago, Alvaro Nunez; Carles Perez, Miguel Roman, Damian Rodriguez, Hugo Alvarez; Ferran Jutgla, Williot Swedberg, Andres Antanon

Celta are missing Borja Iglesias, Marcos Alonso, Ilaix Moriba, Aleix Febas, and Couhaib Driouech through injury.

Verdict

Omonia Nicosia v Celta Vigo

Omonia have kept five clean sheets in their six home appearances this season across competitions. Combined with Celta's awful efficiency in La Liga, this makes under 2.5 goals a realistic outcome on Wednesday.
