FCSB are strong favourites to come through this first leg as winners, with the Romanian side priced at 1.04 to register a victory here. FCSB competed in the Europa League last season, which will have added some much needed European experience to the side that won the Romanian Superliga last term.

Inter Club took part in the qualifying games for the Conference League last year, they lost both games against AEK Athens by an aggregate scoreline of 8-3. The Andorran side do not have much European pedigree and would be competing in any European competition for the first time where they do to qualify for any of the three tournaments.

FCSB also have the home advantage here, they ended the 24/25 campaign really strongly remaining unbeaten across their last 11 matches, which includes a Super Cup final win which took place just a few days ago. They should be able to register a convincing win here against an Inter Club side that still has stages of development to pass through before being a real contender for Champions League qualification.

Ludogorets look in a strong position to register a comfortable home victory in this first leg Champions League playoff tie. Ludogorets competed in the Europa League last season and in the Conference League the season prior - they’ve been part of Champions League qualifying in every season since 2015.

This experience will aid them in the first leg of this tie. They take on a Dinamo Minsk side that have had a fractured last few seasons in the Belarusian Premier League, with factors off the field affecting the performance and consistency of the side. 

Dinamo Minsk competed in the Conference League last season and found it really difficult, winning just one of their six matches, which would suggest that they aren’t currently ready to compete in the Champions League. They lost the other five games which is a record that will fill Ludogorets with confidence here, the hosts can win by a couple of goals.
