Crusaders take on the visitors Ludogorets at the Seaview Stadium in the second leg match of UEFA Champions League 1st qualifying round. The match will be played in Belfast on Tuesday, July 17th.
European fans know very little about Crusaders because the team rarely reached to international level before and didn`t show much in their national league. Last year the Hatchetmen won the Northern Ireland Football League with 91 points after 38 matches. Their offensive line looked very convincing and scored 106 goals. Defenders were good too allowing only 38 goals. Last three home matches for Crusaders ended with a 2-1 win over Harland & Wolff, a 0-1 loss to Motherwell and a 1-2 loss to Connah`s Quay.

Talking about Ludogorets, the team has had no real competition on their national level whatsoever for last several years. Last season the Eagles showed very strong performance and won the Bulgarian league with 88 points after 38 matches. Their offensive line is unbelievably powerful and the players proved it by scoring 91 goals last season. The defensive line played well too and conceding only 22 goals. Last three away matches for Ludogorets ended with a 2-1 win over Young Boys, a 2-1 win over Wacker Innsbruck and a 1-1 draw against Beroe.
The first leg match in Bulgaria ended with a 7-0 win for Ludogorets. Obviously the Eagles are a lot more stonger team than Crusaders so the Norhern Irish guys are likely to lose again.
Prediction for the match: Ludogorets to win with -2.0 handicap.
