Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this clash will be the occurrence of a few goals. We admit that this game will be very balanced, with some moments of the game open, but the away team should have more initiative during the match. Despite playing at home, the Crusaders team will offer the initiative to the opponent and only worry about exploring the opponent's back. Taking into account these factors, we believe that betting in favor of the "Over 2.5 goals" in this game is of value.

Preview
Crusaders and Ludogorets face at Seaview, in a 2nd leg match for the UEFA Champions League (1st Qualifying Round), after the (7‑0) home win by Ludogorets in the 1st leg match.

Analysis Crusaders

After the away loss in the 1st leg, the home team comes to this match with the hard task of having to recover from a 7 goals disadvantage and haven't scored any away goals in the first match. In the last 10 home matches Crusaders has won 5, tied 3 and lost 2. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches.

The Crusaders have reached this stage almost eliminated from the Champions League, as in the first leg suffered a heavy 7-0 defeat to Ludogorets. Still, the North Irish should look for a positive result in order to bring joy to their supporters. The team led by Stephen Baxter usually plays in 4-2-3-1 with Jordan Owens being the most offensive reference of the home team. Michael Carvill is one of the great highlights of the team of Northern Ireland, being this player owner of great speed and technical quality. It seems that there are no absences to register for this second game.

Confirmed Lineup: Sean O'Neill, Billy Joe Burns, Howard Beverland, Kyle Owens, Rodney Brown, Philip Lowry, Jordan Forsythe, Matthew Snoddy, Ross Clarke, Michael Carvill, Jordan Owens.
Coach: S. Baxter.

Analysis Ludogorets

The away team comes to this 2nd leg match with an advantage of 7 goals, but has suffered 0 goals at home in the 1st leg. In the last 10 away matches Ludogorets has won 8 and tied 2. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches.

Ludogorets comes for this second game with a huge victory over the Crusaders, by 7-0, being almost qualified for the next round of the Champions League: the goals were scored by Swierczok (3), Keseru, Marcelinho (2) and Brown (own goal). It should be noted that the away team had already won the Bulgarian Super Cup by beating Slavia Sofia by 1-0. Despite playing away from home and remaining ahead on the round, coach Paulo Autuori is expected to play in 4-2-3-1 favoring ball possession and organizing bouts, especially through the runners: Vura is an intervener very fast and expert in the offensive transition. Stoyanov and Anicet remain out due to injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Jorge Broun, Cicinho, Georgi Terziev, Cosmin Moți, Natanael, Lucas Sasha, Svetoslav Dyakov, João Paulo, Jakub Świerczok, Marcelinho, Jody Lukoki.
Coach: I. Petev Bogdanov.
