NK Celje and Legia Warszawa will battle for three points in a UEFA Conference League fixture on Thursday (November 6th). The game will be played at Stadion Z'dezele.
The home side will be looking to bounce back from the 2-1 victory they registered over Aluminij in the Slovenian Prva Liga over the weekend. They went into the break in the lead thanks to Franko Kovacevic's 22nd-minute strike. Danijel Sturm doubled their advantage in the 72nd minute while Barnabas Tanyi scored a late consolation strike in injury time.
Legia, meanwhile, shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw away to Widzew Lodz in the Polish Ekstraklasa. They went behind to Sebastian Bergier's 66th-minute penalty while Ermai Krasniqi equalized with five minutes left in regulation time.
The Militarians will turn their focus to the continent, where their last game saw them claim a 2-1 away win over Shakhtar Donetsk. Celje claimed a 2-0 away win over Shamrock Rovers.
The win left them in third spot in the standings, one of six sides on maximum points. Legia are 18th on three points.

NK Celje vs Legia Warszawa Prediction
Celje lead the way domestically and have also been impressive on the continent as they aim to emulate their run to the Conference League quarterfinal last season. Eight of their last 10 wins have been by 2+ goal margins, highlighting their potency in attack.
Legia, by contrast, have been out-of-sorts this term and parted ways with former manager Edward Iordanescu. They began their Conference League campaign with defeat at home to Samsunspor before making a short trip to Krakow to beat Shakhtar in what was technically an away game.
We are backing the home side to claim a narrow victory with goals at both ends.
