There are just over 20 days left until the draw for the first round of qualifiers for the elite Champions League, but all potential opponents of the best club from Slovenia are already known. Celje will enter the draw in Nyon as one of the unseeded teams, which means they will certainly need luck on their side.
Among Celje’s possible opponents are some that, frankly, will be very hard to beat. One such opponent is the Hungarian giant Ferencvaros. Celje will also certainly want to avoid Slovan from Bratislava, Ludogorets, FCSB (formerly Steaua), and Azerbaijani Qarabag.
At the same time, it is also true that if Celje has luck on its side, they could get an opponent that is more than beatable. One such example is the Welsh champion The New Saints. Other “easier” opponents include Lincoln Red Imps from Gibraltar, Kosovan club Ballkani, Moldovan club Petrocub, and others.
One of Celje’s potential opponents is also the Latvian club RFS from Riga, where the tall Slovenian defender Žiga Lipušček has been playing for some time.

- Ferencvaros (Hungary)
