Command Analysis
NK Celje
SloveniaCurrent form
Celje, as Slovenian champions, began their European campaign in the Champions League, but the Slovenians failed to qualify for either the Champions League or the Europa League, but they did secure a place in the main stage of the Conference League. After a defeat to Vitoria Guimaraes (1:3), they managed to secure a crushing victory over Basaksehir (5:1). So far, this victory remains the only one for the Slovenian club, but they managed to take another point in a home match with Jagiellonia (3:3). However, they still have a chance to make it to the playoffs, as the hosts are in 25th place and are only one point behind Basaksehir, who are closing the top 24.
Disqualifications and injuries
The appearance of Nikita Iosifov, Neitz Eichmeier and Armandas Kucys on the field is questionable.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has suffered only one defeat in its last six matches.
- The hosts have conceded two goals in their last two matches
Estimated line-up: Rozman, Zec, Vuklišević, Nemanjic, Kavcic, Kvesic, Dulka, Bobichanec, Brinich, Matko.

WalesCurrent form
The New Saints are ahead of only Dynamo Minsk, LASK, Petrocub and Larne in the Conference League standings, their chances of reaching the playoff zone are frankly slim. In the Welsh championship, the hosts are almost the undisputed champions, but currently occupy only second place in the table, four points behind Penybont. In the last round, the Saints suffered an unexpected defeat from Bala Town (0:1). In the Conference League, their only victory was over Astana (2:0). The rest of the matches ended in the visitors' favor.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ryan Astles will not play due to injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- None of the hosts' last 27 matches have ended in a draw
- The team has lost four of five matches in the Conference League
Probable line-up: Roberts, Daniels, Davis, Bodenham, Redmond, Smith, Williams, Holden, Williams, McManus, Brobbel.

1.48Tip and bets
The hosts are quite competitive at the Conference League level, which cannot be said about the visiting team. The Welsh have managed to win only one victory in the current tournament, in an equal match with Astana. No other opponents left the Welsh champions with a chance of a positive result. We believe that Celje will also manage to win confidently in the most important match.
Our forecast is Asian handicap (-1) on "Tsel" for 1.55
Bet on total
The hosts score a lot in the Conference League and even in matches with high-status opponents, they often score a lot of goals. We believe that the favorite will be able to impose its style of play on the opponent, so you shouldn't expect cautious football here.
Our prediction is total over 2.5 goals for 1.55
Bet on corners
Celje will likely have the advantage throughout the match, which should result in the Slovenian team having a noticeable advantage in the number of corner kicks.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-3.5) on corners at "Cel" for 1.95
