Olimpija will entertain Lille at the Stožice Stadium in the group stage of the UEFA Europa Conference League on Thursday.
The hosts have just one win in their last four league games and are at the bottom of the Group A table. They registered their first win of the campaign earlier this month, defeating KI 2-0 at home thanks to late goals from David Sualehe and Mustafa Nukić.
The visitors have enjoyed an unbeaten run in the competition thus far, with two wins in four games. They retained their top spot in the group table with a 1-1 draw against Slovan Bratislava, with Angel Gomes scoring their only goal of the match.
The hosts registered a 2-0 win over Radomlje in the Prva Liga on Saturday and the visitors eased past Lyon in Ligue 1 with a 2-0 win thanks to first-half goals from Jonathan David and Tiago Santos.
A win will ensure a top-two finish for Lille while the hosts need to win their remaining two group-stage games to keep their knockout-stage hopes alive.

Olimpija vs Lille Prediction
Zeleno-beli have a 100% record across all competitions in November, scoring 10 times while conceding just once in six games. They scored for the first time in the competition in their previous outing and registered their first win of the season in that match as well. They will look to continue that form in this match.
Les Dogues have lost just twice across all competitions this season and are currently on a 10-game unbeaten run. They have drawn four of their last five away games, keeping three clean sheets in that period. Bafode Diakite missed the match against Lyon through a leg injury and is likely to sit this one out as well.
Considering the current form of the two teams and their respective goalscoring records in the competition, a low-scoring draw might ensue.
Prediction: Olimpija 1-1 Lille
