Ludogorets vs Rijeka prediction
In the first-leg of this UEFA Champions League second qualifying round tie last week, Ludogorets Razgrad and Rijeka shared a goalless draw at Stadion HNK Rijeka in Croatia.
Ludogorets Razgrad have become regulars in the proper phase of UEFA competition this season. The Bulgarians were underwhelming in the first qualifying round, though, but they managed to edge past Belarusian champions Dinamo Minsk by three goals to two on aggregate.
Rijeka, on the other hand, the surprise champions of Croatia last season, have lost a few key players this summer and they haven’t yet won a European tie so far this year.
Rijeka will go to Bulgaria looking to once again ensure it is a tight and defensive, counter-attacking affair for the Croats, but Ludogorets are still firm favourites for this one.
Ludogorets vs Rijeka tip: Ludogorets to win & under 3.5 goals
