Dinamo Batumi take on the visitors Ludogorets in the second leg of 1/8-finals of EUFA Champions League qualification. First leg result: 1-3. The match will be played on Wednesday, July 17th at Adjarabet Arena (Batumi).
Dinamo (Batumi) currently at the bottom of their form. The "Seagulls", after a recent "purgatory" year in the second division, returned stronger and reached a significantly higher level. They became a team that didn’t fall below second place and won the championship twice, including in 2023. However, this season has been a struggle for Dinamo. Domestically, they not only failed to maintain their leadership but are currently in fourth place. They also lost the Super Cup clash in July. Parallelly, in Razgrad, they managed to score one goal, which was all they could respond with against three conceded.

Ludogorets show a level of domestic dominance that could be envied by not just Eastern European giants like Crvena Zvezda, but even PSG. After all, the French flagship has had its dominance interrupted twice for a year. In Bulgaria, this season was solid, with another title secured in the spring. However, like PSG, the main focus is on the Champions League. They have twice reached the group stage, but recent attempts have ended in qualification round defeats. Nevertheless, these losses were not against the first opponent, so it was no surprise that the new season saw the Bulgarian giant start by decisively defeating guests from Georgia 3-1, leaving minimal hope for success for the club from the other side of the Black Sea.
This is the first meeting between these clubs. Experts do not believe in the Georgians at this point. Agreeing with this, Dinamo looks very unconvincing, going through their deepest slump in at least several years. We bet that the Bulgarian giant will win this match again.
Prediction for the match: Ludogorets to win.
