The qualifications for European club competitions will enter the second half next week, but before that, there will be a draw, the last one this season, when it comes to the qualification phase. Slovenian representatives will find out on Monday who their potential opponents are if they manage to advance to the final phase.
Celje players, as the only one of our three clubs, can afford another slip-up, but that would cost them a spot in the Europa League. However, it is clear that the Counts, regardless of whether they manage to eliminate Shamrock or not, will have the role of unseeded in the playoffs. Even if they join Maribor and Olimpija in the battle for the Conference League, they will compete in a separate part of the qualifications, meaning they can only play against someone who won their national championship last season.
In Ljudski vrt, they will be hoping for a favorable draw, as Maribor, due to their unseeded status, could also face an old acquaintance and the Champions League winner from 2021. Chelsea is just one of several renowned opponents who will have the role of seeded in the playoffs for a spot in the Conference League. Among them, we also find Fiorentina, who lost in the last two finals of the mentioned competition, and everyone would also like to avoid Real Betis, Heidenheim, and Lens.
Olimpija will not have these concerns, as they will be among the seeded in the draw, but the Dragons must first overcome Sheriff from Tiraspol, who managed to silence the famous Santiago Bernabeu a few years ago.
