⭐ Ludogorets v Minsk Predictions and Best Bets

Ludogorets look like the side more likely to come through this tie and are favourites to win the first leg at 1.33. They have a wealth of experience at this level having competed in each of the last 10 qualifying campaigns for the Champions League. They also competed in the Europa League last season.

Dinamo Minsk competed in the Conference League last season and found it really difficult with just one win from their six matches, losing the other five. This record would suggest that they currently don’t have the capacity to compete with some of the more experienced sides on the European stage, as Ludogorets are at this level.

🟢 Ludogorets Dominance

As well as their recent campaigns in European competition, Ludogorets have also been pretty strong when it comes to their domestic performances. They won the First Professional League in Bulgaria during the 24/25 campaign marking their 14th title in the division.

They also lifted the Bulgarian Cup and the Super Cup during the 24/25 campaign so they are pretty dominant domestically and this should aid them coming into a game in which they are clear favourites to pick up a positive result.

Ludogorets lost their top scorer from the 24/25 campaign to Botafogo recently but Erick Marcus is a player to keep an eye on for Ludogorets here, he finished the 24/25 campaign as second top scorer behind Rwan Cruz and registered 11 goal contributions in the campaign overall. 

🔵 Minsk Could Struggle

Minsk have had a tough last few seasons, especially in their attempt to solidify themselves as a regular contender on the European stage. This is made more difficult by the fact that Minsk can’t play games at home at the moment due to off the field issues which has made it difficult for the Belarussian side to find any success in European competitions.

They have been pretty strong domestically in winning the Belarussian Premier League in each of the last two seasons marking their first league triumphs since 2004 so there is a slight upward trend there for Dinamo Minsk but this is unlikely to come to their aid here against such experienced opponents at this level.
