Ludogorets – O. Ljubljana : Preview & Prediction
The second round of the 2023-2024 Champions League qualifiers features an interesting double-header. We start with the first leg between Bulgaria’s Ludogorets and Slovenia’s Olimpija Ljubljana. After eliminating Kosovo’s Balkani thanks to a comeback (2-0 defeat in the first leg, 4-0 victory in the return), the Bulgarians enter this round as favourites to continue in the competition. And the Bulgarians have only just started their domestic championship, beating Etar 5-0 at the weekend. And therein lies the strength of this team, the “home” factor, for not only have they been able to get back to the first round thanks to the fervor, but, at home, they have already gone 12 games without losing, with 11 victories!
For their part, Olimpija Ljubljana enter this round having eliminated Valmiera by winning both games. However, like Ludogorets, they also started their league campaign with an away loss (2-1 to FC Koper) and, although they weren’t a bad away team last season, this arguably affects their chances of winning this match to some extent. What’s more, they finished the league in poor form, having lost 4 of their last 5 away games… To come away from this match with a positive result would therefore be quite an achievement.
