Claude Opus 4.8
Slovan Bratislava host the first leg in excellent form (six wins from seven under Yaya Toure) with a strong home record at Tehelné pole, but Celje have solid European experience from two Conference League knockout runs, so a decisive-but-not-comfortable Slovan win is most likely.
Claude Opus 5
Slovan Bratislava are the higher-coefficient side, in strong domestic form under Yaya Touré and formidable at Tehelné pole in Champions League qualifiers, having also beaten Celje 6-1 on aggregate in a previous meeting. Celje showed resilience to overturn Ararat-Armenia and carry real attacking threat, so a first-leg away goal is likely even in a Slovan win.
DeepSeek V4 Pro
Slovan Bratislava are in excellent early-season form under Yaya Toure and have a strong home record in Champions League qualifiers, while Celje have been less convincing despite some European experience. A home win is most likely, with Celje still capable of nicking a goal.
Gemini 3.1 Pro
Slovan Bratislava boasts a formidable home record in European qualifiers and possesses greater Champions League experience. While Celje has shown resilience in recent continental campaigns, the hosts' attacking quality at Tehelne Pole should give them the edge in this first leg.
Gemini 3.6 Flash
Slovan Bratislava boast a formidable home record in European qualifiers at Tehelne Pole, having previously defeated Celje 5-0 at this stadium in 2024. With Celje continuing to show vulnerability on the road in continental ties, the Slovakian champions are well-positioned to take a comfortable first-leg victory.
Gemini 3.7 Flash
Slovan Bratislava boast formidable home form in European qualifiers at Tehelne Pole and have the deeper European pedigree. While Celje are well-organized and capable of scoring on the break, the Slovakian champions should edge a tight first leg.
Gemma 4 31B
Slovan Bratislava has a strong record in Champions League qualifiers at home and enters the playoff round with momentum after easing past Mjallby. While Celje has shown resilience in European competitions, Slovan's experience in reaching the league phase and their home advantage make them the favorites.
Muse Spark 1.2
Slovan's formidable home qualifying record (6 wins in last 7 at Tehelne pole) and recent league-phase experience make them narrow favourites over a Celje side that has excelled in the Conference League but never reached the Champions League proper.
MiniMax M3
Slovan Bratislava have a strong home record in Champions League qualifiers (won 6 of last 7 at Tehelne Pole) and are defending an 8th consecutive Slovakian league title, while Celje bring solid European experience from two Conference League knockout runs but face a step up in quality; home advantage narrowly tips this tight playoff, though a draw is very plausible given the high-stakes knockout context.
Mistral Large 3
Slovan Bratislava enter this fixture with strong momentum, having won four of their last five competitive matches under new management and dominating their recent Champions League qualifiers. Celje, while experienced in European competitions, have never reached the Champions League group stage and face a formidable opponent at Tehelne Pole, where Slovan have won six of their last seven Champions League qualifiers.
Kimi K2.6
Slovan Bratislava have been in commanding form at home under Yaya Touré, winning their last three home matches by an aggregate 10-0 and dispatching Mjällby 2-0 in the previous round. Celje have shown attacking potential in qualifying but have been defensively vulnerable, conceding five goals across two legs against Egnatia and losing away to Ararat-Armenia, so a Slovan win with both teams scoring looks the most likely outcome.
Kimi K3
Slovan are in dominant form under Yaya Touré (six wins and a draw in seven, last three home games won 10-0, 4-1 aggregate over Mjallby) and thrashed Celje 6-1 on aggregate when they met in 2024 qualifying. Celje have been shaky on the road this campaign — beaten at Ararat-Armenia and needing penalties past Egnatia — so a home win is strongly favoured, though first-leg caution keeps the draw meaningful.
Nemotron 3 Ultra
Slovan Bratislava have won six of their last seven Champions League qualifiers at Tehelne Pole and are unbeaten in five competitive matches under their new manager (W4 D1), while Celje — despite a 5-0 first-leg win over Flora and Conference League knockout experience — have never reached the UCL proper and face a step up in class away from home.
GPT-5.6 Sol
Slovan’s strong recent home record in Champions League qualifiers and convincing route through the previous rounds give them the edge. Celje’s recent European knockout experience should keep the first leg tight and relatively low-scoring.
Qwen3.7 Plus
Slovan Bratislava's extensive recent Champions League experience and formidable home record at Tehelne Pole give them a clear edge, though Celje's strong away form and attacking momentum suggest they will remain competitive and likely find the net.
Grok 4.5
Slovan are in excellent form under Toure with a perfect domestic start and strong home CL qualifying record, having already thumped Celje 5-0 at home two years ago; Celje have Conference League experience but struggled away in prior rounds and look second-best on quality.
MiMo v2.5-Pro
Slovan Bratislava have won six of their last seven Champions League qualifiers at Tehelne Pole and bring significantly more top-level European pedigree as regular league-phase participants, while Celje—though strong in recent Europa Conference League campaigns—have never reached the Champions League proper. Home advantage and Slovan's deeper squad depth as perennial Slovakian champions give them the edge, but Celje's attacking quality (a 5-0 European win this campaign) ensures this should be competitive.
GLM-5.2
Slovan Bratislava are in superb form under Yaya Toure with six wins and a draw from seven games, including three consecutive home victories by an aggregate of 10-0, while Celje narrowly scraped past Ararat-Armenia 3-2 on aggregate and have looked lackluster in qualifying. Slovan's strong home record in European qualifiers and greater UCL experience make them clear favorites to take a first-leg lead.
