Shamrock Rovers take on the visitors Ludogorets in the second leg of UEFA Champions League qualification quarterfinals. First leg result: 0-3. The match will be played on Tuesday, July 26th at Tallaght Stadium (Dublin).
Shamrock Rovers is by far the leader in the domestic arena, but not in the international arena. The Hoops in 2020, after a rather long pause, regained the league title in the Irish Premiership. And already once they were able to defend their status for the first time, last year. And now they have accumulated a comfortable lead over the closest pursuers, Derry City and Dundalk. This allows the team to focus on the Champions League now. Stefan Bradley's wards got off to a good start, deciding everything against Hibernians in the first match, defeating them 3-0. After that, it was enough to keep 0-0 on the road. But a major defeat followed in Razgrad. And it de facto has already closed the intrigue in the pair.

Ludogorets has long been accustomed to the fact that he is strong not only in the domestic arena. The "Orlite" is not just the strongest club in their native Bulgaria. They unconditionally dominate the domestic arena - having taken the "gold", no one else is even allowed to come close to them. It has long been an indicator of the assessment of the season in what it turns out to show in European competition. So far, it is not possible to repeat the success of 2014 and 2016, with access to the main round of the Champions League. But in the Europa League, the Bulgarians play consistently in the fall, and sometimes even get into the playoffs there. The current draw began successfully for the Bulgarian grand: the first opponent, the Montenegrin Sutjeska, was passed comfortably and calmly. And then at home, taking on the Irish, they scored 3 unanswered goals. The hero was Sotiriu, who scored a "double" in the middle of the 1st half.
Ludogorets has been playing consistently and quite successfully on the international arena for more than a decade. But you can't say the same about Shamrock Rovers. So it is not surprising that this is the first confrontation between the Bulgarians and the Irish. Of course, here the result of the meeting is not particularly important. But Ludogorets is good, and it is worth taking a bet on his victory on the road with a handicap of "0".
Prediction for the match: Ludogorets to win with 0.0 handicap.
