Prediction: 1-0
FC Ballkani
Ludogorets will be aiming to overcome a two-goal deficit in the tie with FC Ballkani when the two teams face each other in Razgrad in the Champions League first qualifying round, second leg. The Bulgarian champions have no other option but to go all guns blazing at the Kosovars and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Wednesday’s clash. Ivaylo Petev rested several first-team regulars in a 3-1 loss to Krumovgrad, but he is likely to field the best possible side against FC Ballkani.
The visitors, on the other hand, are likely to rely on their solid defence in the reverse fixture, but preventing Ludogorets attackers from scoring at Huvepharma Arena is easier said than done. Home win should be considered even though we do not believe that the Bulgarians are capable of overcoming the deficit. A man to watch in the away side will be Meriton Korenica, who impressed in the first leg.
