A chance to reclaim their position in the Conference League for Celje depends on getting past Banik Ostrava in the 2025-26 UEFA Conference League playoffs. The first-leg match on Thursday at Z'dezele Stadium comes with our prediction of both teams scoring goals. The winner of this tie goes into the league phase of the tournament.
Celje started their European journey this season in the Europa League, but after losing to AEK Larnaca in the second qualifier, they saw themselves drop to the third qualifier of the Conference League, where they won 7-4 against Lugano. Banik also started in the Europa League qualifiers, where they lost 4-3 to Legia Warsaw. They picked up by defeating Austria Wien 5-4 in the previous round of this competition.
Celje won 3-2 away from home last weekend to give themselves a fourth win in their last five competitive fixtures. Their only defeat came in the previous round of this competition, where they lost at home to Lugano. Two wins in a row prior to that loss show that they can be a force to reckon with.
Banik drew 1-1 away in their previous qualifying round, which meant they have now won just once in their last seven competitive fixtures (W1, D3, L3).

Our NK Celje vs Banik Ostrava Prediction
Celje are looking to get back into the Conference League, a competition where they reached the quarter-finals last season. They showed in recent fixtures in Europe that goals are likely to flow, as can be seen in the seven goals they scored in the previous round. Banik have never qualified for the league stage of a UEFA competition, and this presents a great opportunity, although the visitors are yet to impress away from home.
This match could witness goals, and our NK Celje vs Banik Ostrava prediction is both teams to score.
