It’s seemingly advantage to Bulgarian side, Ludogorets, following last week’s 1-1 draw away from home at Tuesday’s opponents, Olympiakos, and Ludogorets now return to their Huvepharma Arena for this 2nd leg of this 3rd qualifying round tie in the Champions League.
Ludogorets have produced some encouraging results lately as the hosts are unbeaten in their last nine matches overall in all competitions and includes previous qualifying round wins in the Champions League against Shakhtyor Soligorsk 2-0 on aggregate and a 3-1 aggregate win in the 2nd qualifying round against Mura.
Following last week’s 1-1 draw away in Greece, Ludogorets now seem to be in a strong position to progress to the next round but results at home in the Champions League have been inconsistent; Ludogorets have won just five of their last 11 ties on home soil.
Onto Olympiakos and although the Greek side were held to a 1-1 draw in last week’s 1st leg tie at their Stadio Georgios Karaiskáki, they’re still very much in this 3rd qualifying round tie as they prepare for this trip to Bulgaria on Tuesday night.
Olympiakos have also produced a string of positive results in recent times as the Greek visitors are unbeaten in their last six matches in all competitions which includes a 2nd qualifying round win over Azerbaijan side, Neftci Baku, 2-0 on aggregate after winning 1-0 in both home and away legs.
The visitors have lost just three of their last 17 matches in all competitions, with two of these three defeats being pre-season friendlies, while also being unbeaten in their last three ties in the Champions League.
The Betting Verdict
Ludogorets earned a good draw in last week’s 1st leg but Olympiakos are a quality outfit and the visitors still stand a decent chance of progressing here.
