Ludogorets secured an impressive 1-2 away win in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League third qualifying round tie, putting them on the verge of making their first appearance in the main draw since 2016/17. A draw in the second leg is enough for them to advance to the final qualification stage, but the coach and players want to ensure they pass in style, after regularly winning the previous matches at home with a two-goal margin. Ludogorets, a club with 13 consecutive titles in the Bulgarian championship, currently holds the longest winning streak in Europe, making them synonymous with domestic dominance. However, despite this invincibility in the national competition, they have failed to get past the third qualifying round of the Champions League in six of the last seven seasons. But this season there are indications that that trend could change, because the team under the leadership of Georgi Dermendzhiev has five consecutive triumphs in Razgrad at their Huvapharma Arena, four of which were by at least two goals, which speaks volumes for how confident they are before to his fans. Given that they have an improved result from the first game, we shouldn't expect them to play too much attacking football, but I believe they will have control over the game. On the other hand, Qarabag will have a bitter taste in their mouths because of the goal they conceded in the last moments of the first match, which cost them a draw at home. However, they quickly regained their confidence with a convincing 3-0 triumph against Kapaz on Friday, making it two wins from two rounds of the Azerbaijan Premier League as they look to defend their title. For the return match, they will need a similar attacking performance and there is no doubt that they will have to play much better than in the first match when they had a hard time getting chances and were in a completely subordinate position. Qarabag does not play badly on away grounds and they manage to score goals, but looking at the last games, we are talking about friendly matches and matches in the domestic championship, which cannot boast of the high quality of the game. Here the rival is far more serious and the stakes are much higher and any carelessness in defense can cost them dearly. The quality of the teams is at an approximate level, but due to the advantage of the home field and the way they played in the first game, I give Ludoroets the advantage in this match.

卢多戈雷茨在欧冠预选赛第三轮的首回合比赛中取得了令人印象深刻的客场1-2胜利，这使他们自2016/17赛季以来首次出现在主要抽签中。第二回合的平局足以让他们进入最后的资格赛阶段，但教练和球员们希望确保他们在之前的主场比赛中以两球的优势获胜后，能够有风格地通过。卢多戈雷茨是一支在保加利亚联赛中连续13次夺冠的俱乐部，目前保持着欧洲最长的连胜纪录，使他们成为国内霸主的代名词。然而，尽管在国内比赛中不可战胜，他们在过去的七个赛季中有六个赛季未能在欧冠预选赛第三轮出线。但本赛季有迹象表明，这种趋势可能会改变，因为在格奥尔基·德尔门哲耶夫(Georgi Dermendzhiev)的带领下，这支球队在拉茨格勒的Huvapharma Arena取得了五连胜，其中四场至少赢了两个球，这充分说明了他们对他的球迷有多自信。鉴于他们在第一场比赛中取得了进步，我们不应该期望他们踢太多的进攻足球，但我相信他们会控制比赛。另一方面，卡拉巴格将会尝到苦涩的滋味，因为他们在第一场比赛的最后时刻丢了一个球，导致他们在主场被逼平。然而，他们在周五以令人信服的3-0战胜卡帕兹后迅速恢复了信心，这使得他们在两轮阿塞拜疆超级联赛中取得了两场胜利，他们希望卫冕冠军。对于第二场比赛，他们将需要类似的进攻表现，毫无疑问，他们必须比第一场比赛打得更好，当时他们很难获得机会，处于完全从属的地位。卡拉巴格在客场踢得并不差，他们也取得了进球，但看看最近的比赛，我们谈论的是友谊赛和国内联赛，这些比赛的质量不能夸口。在这里，对手要严肃得多，赌注也高得多，任何防守上的疏忽都会让他们付出高昂的代价。球队的水平大致相当，但由于主场优势和他们在第一场比赛中的表现，我认为卢多罗茨队在这场比赛中占据优势。
