Match Facts
Bayer Leverkusen's only two previous European games against Slovenian teams were in the 1999-00 UEFA Champions League against Maribor, winning 2-0 away and drawing 0-0 in Germany.
Across the 11 major European meetings between German and Slovenian clubs, German sides have lost just once (W6 D4), a 1-0 win for Domzale in the UEFA Cup in September 2005 against Stuttgart.
This is Bayer Leverkusen's first UEFA Europa League game since losing the 2023-24 final against Atalanta in Dublin. They've won 14 of their last 16 group stage games in the Europa League (D1 L1), winning their last nine at home while netting 37 goals.
This is Celje's fourth ever major European season - they went out in the first round of the 2003-04 UEFA Cup, while they featured in the Conference League in both 2024-25 (quarter-finalists) and 2025-26 (reached last 16).
Moussa Diaby has been involved in 20 goals in 28 UEFA Europa League appearances for Bayer Leverkusen (12 goals, 8 assists) – only Florian Wirtz has had a hand in more since 2009-10 (12 goals, 12 assists).
