In the Conference League qualifying draw, Slovenian football once again had three representatives. Alongside Maribor and Olimpija, Celje also joined, replacing Bravo, which unfortunately fell to Zrinjski in the second round.
If Celje were to be eliminated from the Europa League qualifiers by the Irish team Shamrock Rovers, they would face the winner of the clash between the Armenian and Kazakh champions in the lowest-tier playoff. The Grofje would compete against the better team from the match between Ordabasy and Pyunik.
Maribor were somewhat relieved to see that, if they advance, they would not need to prepare for the English giant Chelsea. Instead, the draw has matched them with the winner of the match between Djurgården and Ilves. The Finns had previously dashed the European dreams of Nik Prelec and Austria Vienna.
As the last of the Slovenian clubs, Olimpija learned their potential opponent from the dragon’s nest. If successful, Olimpija might face a team not far from the Slovenian capital, but the Ljubljana side is also in the running to play in Sweden, as they will face the loser of the match between Elfsborg and Rijeka.
