The match will be played at Arena Z'dezele in Celje, Slovenia, NK Celje's home stadium with a capacity of 13,059. This intimate venue in the heart of Slovenia will host the UEFA Conference League encounter, giving Celje the home advantage despite their lower league position.

AEK Athens are expected to edge this match given their superior league position and recent form, with odds favoring a home win for Celje unlikely despite their home advantage. The 3-point gap in the standings and AEK's +7 goal difference versus Celje's +1 suggests the Greek side should control proceedings, though Celje's home support could make it competitive.

These teams have faced each other recently in the UEFA Conference League, with their last meeting on October 2, 2025, ending in a 0-0 draw at this same Arena Z'dezele venue. The head-to-head record shows limited history between them, but Celje's inability to break down AEK in their last encounter suggests they may struggle again in this rematch.
