Maribor hosts Ludogorets in the second leg of the Europa League qualification finals. The match will be played on Thursday, August 29th at Ljudski vrt (Maribor)
Frankly speaking, Maribor was incredibly lucky in the first away match with Ludogorets. Well, judge for yourself: Ludogorets had 28 shots against 7 of Maribor, but the Slovenian team had no shots on target. Now the hosts have obvious problems – half of the squad is injured, and the team can’t show a consistently strong game even in the local championship, what to speak about Euro cups. The Slovenian team can go further by some miracle, in my opinion. In the first match, everything was too bad in the defense - Razgrad cracked Maribor’s defensive locks over and over, and only by some miracle + goalkeeper’s mastery, Maribor managed to avoid not only hammering but a simple defeat. The things of the hosts are very bad, and the shells, as you know, never hit the same place twice. I’m sure that Maribor will have its last match in Euro cups this season.

Ludogorets looks pretty good now - the team is on the second line in the local championship standings, losing only by additional indicators, but the game with Maribor was not successful for today's visitors. The Greens attacked for the whole match and were several times better than their opponent was but could not score. However, you can look at it from the other side as well - Razgrad did not concede in the home field, which gives the team excellent chances to go further because the visitors will be pleased with a scoring draw. But as for me, Ludogorets may well win, because its class is much higher.
As for the first match, only one thing can be said - Maribor was incredibly lucky because Ludogorets could not convert a huge amount of attempts. It seems to me that the away team is an obvious favorite in the upcoming game since the Slovenes have enough problems now. I will bet on a zero handicap of the visitors.
Prediction for the match: Ludogorets to win with 0.0 handicap
