Drita’s historical qualification to the knockouts of the 2025-26 UEFA Conference League will pit them against Celje on Thursday. This knockout play-off first-leg match between the Intellectuals and the Counts comes with our prediction of both teams scoring goals.
The Kosovan hosts became the first side from their country to reach the knockout stages of any UEFA competition. This came after they finished 20th in the league phase (W2, D2, L2) and one point above their challengers. For Celje, it was a 13th-place finish with ten points (W3, D1, L2) and two points behind the top eight spots.
Drita had a great start to the Conference League campaign, remaining unbeaten in their first four games (W2, D2). However, their chances took a hit with back-to-back defeats, but they managed to hold on to their playoff hopes only just.
The hosts won 1-0 at home last weekend, which made it four wins from their last five competition matches.
Celje also started the league phase on a high, winning their first three matches. They couldn’t sustain the momentum though, winning only one point from their last three matches of the first stage (D1, L2).
The visitors will be worried about their form on the road, as Celje were beaten in four of their last five competitive trips (D1).
