NK Celje have a 3-2 lead to protect in the second leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League knockout playoff when they welcome KF Drita to the Stadion Z'dezele. This is the second meeting between these two sides in this competition. Here's our match prediction.
NK Celje comes into this match after seeing off the threat of Drita in the first leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League playoff. They secured a narrow 3-2 away record.
Before that result, they had failed to win their last three matches in this competition, recording two losses and one draw.
Home is where the heart has been for the Counts, who, after suffering a 4-2 defeat against Switzerland's Lugano, have gone four matches without defeat. During this period, they recorded three wins and a solitary draw.
For KF Drita, a single-goal deficit is hardly beyond their reach. However, their record in European football knockout stages is cause for concern, particularly away from home. They have lost six of their last 11 away matches at this stage (W3, D2).
Add to that poor run of form, the Intellectuals have lost their last three matches in the UEFA Europa Conference League. This means they could struggle for a positive outcome in this impending encounter.
In their recent match, they managed to restore their confidence with a 2-0 away victory over KF LIapi in the league.
