Celje are still looking for their first goal in the league phase of the UEFA Europa League (UEL) as they come up against Salzburg on matchday three. This match on Thursday at Stadion Z'dezele between the 35th-placed ‘Counts’ and the 21st-placed ‘Red Bulls’ could test the goal count, and our match prediction is BTTS: No.
With no points (L2), Celje are one of the nine teams who lost both matchdays, while they remain one of the two clubs yet to score. Salzburg have three points (W1, L1) and are still looking for a push up the table.
Celje drew 0-0 away at Maribor last weekend, which keeps them at just one win from their last seven matches (D2, L4). Worryingly, the Slovenians have failed to score in five of those fixtures.
That included a 3-0 loss against Omonia (matchday two) and a 2-0 defeat at Bayer Leverkusen on matchday one. Additionally, three defeats from their last four home games are a concern.
Salzburg won 3-0 at home against Altach in the Austrian league last weekend for their first victory in three games (D1, L1). One of their defeats was a 4-0 loss at home against AC Milan. That may have masked their 1-0 away win over Levski Sofia on matchday one, while four wins from their last six trips (D2) give them extra confidence.

Our NK Celje vs Salzburg Prediction
This is the first time Celje are facing an Austrian side, and their form couldn’t have been worse. Not only are they without a point in this league phase, but they are also without a goal. That puts the prospect of losing four successive European matches for the first time, as they come up against a Salzburg who lost 4-0 to AC Milan last time out.
Salzburg are slightly better on the road, while clean sheets have been a common theme – either for or against – in matches featuring these sides. That’s why our NK Celje vs Salzburg prediction is BTTS: No.
