High-scoring Celje chase history

The champions of Slovakia and Slovenia meet on Wednesday night as they battle for a place in the Champions League this autumn. Slovan Bratislava made the League Phase in 2024, progressing from the first round of qualifying.

Opponents Celje are already on their longest Champions League run, but they’re aiming to reach the League Phase following their run to the last 16 of the Conference League earlier this year.

The visitors should prove to be a threat on the road, despite falling to a 2-1 defeat at Ararat-Armenia in the last round. They’ve scored at least twice in 10 of their previous 14 European trips, including a 3-2 win at Kosovo’s Drita and a 2-0 victory at AEK Athens in the Conference League knockouts earlier this year.

Slovan have scored in 14 of their previous 16 home European ties, while they’ve scored seven times across four games in Europe this summer.

Celje have seen their share of high-scoring European ties, drawing 2-2 and 3-3 with Egnatia in the second round of qualifying. They’ve conceded 15 goals across eight games in Europe this year, so both teams to score appeals alongside a 2-2 draw.
