Celje vs Drita Prediction and Betting Tips 26 February 2026

Celje go into the return leg with a slender advantage after a 3–2 first-leg win. As Celje seem to be more of a team than Drita, we predict a 2-1 home win. Celje's recent form shows 1.50 points per game overall, with 60% home wins and a strong attacking record scoring 2.60 goals per home match. The Slovenians concede just 0.80 goals at home with an xGA of 1.10, highlighting defensive reliability in front of their fans. Celje also tend to feature in high-scoring games, with 70% BTTS and 3.40 average home goals.
Injury Note: No fresh injury concerns.

Drita face an uphill task, with only 1.75 PPG away and scoring 1.00 goal per away match. Their defensive record is tighter, conceding 1.00 goal per away game, but xG of 1.04 suggests limited attacking threat. Drita’s BTTS rate stands at just 25% away, making a comeback difficult. Blerton Sheji returns from suspension, but the visitors remain big underdogs in Thursday's clash.

Given Celje's strong home stats, we are tempted to place our bets on Home Win, alongside Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals (both legs historically high-scoring, Celje average 3.40 goals at home).

This Europa Conference League match will be played on Thursday 26 February 2026 at 17:45.
