TNS hosts Ludogorets in the second leg of the Europa League qualification semifinals. The match will be played on Thursday, August 15th at Racecourse Ground (Wrexham)
For those who may be confused by such a prediction, I’ll immediately explain that the Welsh champion The New Saints was already in a similar situation last season. It almost made a real sporting feat at the preliminary stage of the UEFA Champions League, sending Macedonian Shkendiya to the knockdown at home (4-0) after an away 0:5 defeat... The self-esteem and temper of the TNS players were pretty high, right? Of course, Bulgarian Ludogorets is far from the level of modest Shkendiya, but you also shouldn’t exclude the possibility that the TNS will throw all its forces into a positive outcome. Since the team from Wales, which has not experienced any competition in the local championship for a long time, has nothing to lose now... By the way, the New Saints have already scored two goals in their field in the current European competitions, having gained a goal draw while playing with the Kosovo flagship Feronikeli (2:2).

As for Ludogorets, even if the visitors lose with a difference of 3-4 goals, nothing bad will happen to them. Moreover, the Bulgarian Eagles are far from ideal in the current Euro season in terms of defense, which, in particular, became the reason for their imminent departure from the prestigious Champions League. Ludogorets screwed up in a two-round sparring with Hungarian Ferencvaros (two defeats - 2:3 and 1:2).
I think that Ludogorets, which will be relaxed by a huge positive handicap of 5 goals, may well flinch in its defensive order once again!
Prediction for the match: TNS to score over 1.5 goals
