Shakhtyor Soligorsk faces Ludogorets in the second leg of the Champions League qualification 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Tuesday, July 13th at Stadion na Banovom brdu (Belgrade)
Shakhtyor Soligorsk has pleasant worries, as the team plays in the Champions League qualification. In fact, the draw was frankly unlucky, as the Miners could get a much easier opponent in the first round. Now the situation is very difficult, as the Belarusians need to win back a deficit of one goal on a neutral pitch. Shakhtyor Soligorsk lacked several minutes to achieve a draw in the first leg. Roman Hryhorchuk's charges feel perfect in the local championship, as they are ahead of their nearest pursuer by four points and have one game in hand.

The Bulgarian champion had just started the season. It was not clear what form the team had, because it played only friendly matches. If we analyze the first leg, Ludogorets should be satisfied with its game, but the victory was achieved with great difficulty. The club was lucky not to have to play at the foreign stadium, where the fans could have supported the opponent. The Eagles have no right to lose the advantage in the second match. The European Cup experience should help the Bulgarian champion advance to the next round.
The first game took place with the advantage of the home team, although it cannot be said that Ludogorets dominated. In the second half, the advantage of the Bulgarian champion became more obvious, but the Eagles couldn’t score. They snatched a victory only in the 92nd minute. It is important that the return leg will take place on neutral ground in Serbia. This means that the Miners will not have the advantage of their native arena, and the match will be played without spectators. The reason for this transfer is that there is no direct air connection between Bulgaria and Belarus. Based on such data, bookmakers give priority to nominal visitors in the second game. We expect a cautious game from both opponents and bet on Under 2.5 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
