Celje vs The New Saints Prediction & Betting Tips - Conference League
by Devesh Jaganath in Conference League Predictions
Stadion Z'dezele will burst into life on Thursday night when Celje play host to Welsh opponents The New Saints in the UEFA Conference League. Grofje are 25th in the League Phase standings while the Saints are seven places below them in 32nd heading into the final match of the group stage. Check out our match prediction below!
It’s the last chance saloon for Celje! The hosts are the first side below the playoff section cut off and only a win here will keep them in qualification contention, though they will need several results elsewhere to go in their favour as well. TNS, meanwhile, are mathematically still in with a shot of qualifying, but two points and eight places behind the last play-off place means that it is a very slim chance.
The hosts are the clear favourites here according to the bookmakers' odds, but can the visitors deliver one big result to keep things interesting in the qualification scenario? Let’s crunch the numbers.

Celje - The New Saints: Form Analysis
Celje slipped out of the top 24 in this competition last week when they suffered a 2-0 defeat on the road to Pafos which allowed Istanbul Basaksehir to leapfrog them in the standings.
That result marked the third defeat in the competition for Grofje, though all three of those losses were away games, while they have taken four points from their two matches on home soil.
In fact, the hosts have been very difficult to beat at Stadion Z'dezele this term, having only been bested twice in 15 matches at this venue since the start of the 2024-25 season.
Celje have scored two or more goals in seven of their last nine home games!
Meanwhile, The New Saints put up a tough fight against Panathinaikos last week but were still defeated 2-0, marking their third consecutive loss in the competition.
The only points TNS have earned in Europe was a 2-0 home win over Astana on matchday two, and since then they only managed one more goal, with their tally of three being the second-fewest in the competition.
The visitors lost and conceded two goals in both away matches in the Conference League and have a record of two wins and three defeats in their last five on the road across all competitions.

Formation : 4 - 3 - 3
Celje & The New Saints Squad Analysis
Celje will remain without the services of striker Armandas Kucys, who sustained a serious knee injury against Real Betis on matchday two and has not featured for the club since.
Joining the towering Lithuanian striker on the sidelines this week are Nejc Ajhmajer and Nikita Iosifov, both of whom are also ruled out for the foreseeable future with knee injuries.
Juanjo Nieto has scored in two of Celje’s last three Conference League matches!
The New Saints could be without two first-team players for this trip to Slovenia, with the confirmed absentee being Ryan Astles, who is still on the road to recovery from knee surgery.
Joshua Daniels only managed 11 minutes in the defeat to Panathinaikos last week before being forced off with a knock and his participation in this match is in serious doubt.
Declan McManus has scored three goals in TNS’ last four games and could be brought back into the starting 11 for this one.

Our Celje vs The New Saints Prediction
Both of these sides are mathematically still in contention to reach the knockout round, but only three points can keep that dream alive, meaning they both need to throw caution to the wind in this one.
Celje have been very good on their home patch this season, scoring two or more in seven of their last nine games. However, they have also leaked goals, managing only one clean sheet during that same period. Therefore, our Celje vs The New Saints prediction is both teams to score.
