Team analysis: Objectives
Celje made a historic success by placing in the group stage of a European competition, which is the first time in their history. Although they achieved this significant result, their European journey could end sooner than they had hoped, as they have won just four points from five games.
They initially lost to Vitoria Guimaraes, but then won against Istanbul Basaksehir, which gave hope for further progress. However, the defeat to Betis in Spain, after conceding a goal in stoppage time, and the 3-3 draw with Jagiellonia Bialystok showed a lack of consistency.
The last match against Paphos ended with a 2-0 defeat, thus complicating their position in the group. Celje must now end their four-match winless streak to increase their chances of progressing to the next stage. Their game at home can be decisive, because with the support of the fans they will try to get key points.
Team Analysis: The New Saints
The New Saints, like Celje, are participating in the group stage of a UEFA competition for the first time. Although they eliminated Panevezys in the playoffs, the group showed that they have a hard time managing at this level. From five matches, they won only three points, with four defeats.
Their only win came at home against Astana (2-0), followed by defeats against Shamrock, Djurgarden and Panathinaikos. The fact that they haven’t scored in the last two games is particularly worrying.
The New Saints know that only a win against Celje gives them a chance to go through, but with their poor away form (three defeats in the last five matches), their task seems very difficult.
Betting suggestion: 3.5+
This is a duel between two teams that have a lot to lose, but also a different approach. Celje will play offensively, because even a point can bring them further, while The New Saints must take risks to win all three points.
