After 90 minutes in Piraeus where neither Ludogorets nor Olympiakos gained an advantage before the second match, Bulgarian and Greece football champions must find something extra in Razgrad to book their place in the playoff round in Champions League qualifiers. Read our Ludogorets vs Olympiakos prediction and betting tips.
Ludogorets was one step away from winning the first match, Despodov hit the home side’s net in the 50th minute, but Olympiakos responded three minutes before the end when Camara equalized. That was probably the appropriate result after what was shown in the first game, where both rivals showed respect for the opponent. They also displayed the quality that is needed to be one step away from the Champions League. Ludogorets once again started their adventure in Europe in a great way, with two 1-0 victories against Shaktyor Soligorsk, and after the Belarusian champion, the Bulgarians were better than the champion of Slovenia, Mura, which they defeated 3-1 in Razgrad and after a goalless draw away, they got chance to be better than Olympiakos.
Ludogorets has had the same recipe for years, it is a team with many foreigners on the field, which after the dominant season in the national championship are trying to jump into the group stage of the Champions League or the Europa League. They have a very talented coach from Lithuania, Valdas Dambrauskas in Croatia, as a coach of Gorica, showed and proved that he can significantly improve the game of any team. With him at the helm and with great individuals, Ludogorets can defeat everyone on their pitch. They started well in the national championship, which was not the case in previous years because this is the time when they fully dedicate themselves to Europe, so with two victories in the Bulgarian championship and good games in the Champions League, they have a lot of confidence before meeting Olympiakos.
Ludogorets (4-3-3): Kristijan Kahlina (GK); Anton Nedyalkov, Olivier Verdon, Igor Plastun, Jordan Ikoko; Stephane Badji, Claude Goncalves, Cauly Souza; Kiril Despodov, Pieros Sotiriou, Alex Menezes
Olympiakos have reached their second title in a row in Greece, but that does not meet their ambitions. They have been playing in Europe for years, so the first task of coach Pedro Martins is to qualify for the Champions League. After the first game, it is clear that it will not be an easy task, but it is also not a mission impossible. The problem is that Greek teams traditionally play much better at home, they will have to change that at least for the next away match. Two 1-0 victories against Neftci Baku were enough for this round of the competition, but now something extra is needed.
The problem for Olympiakos is that they are far from the competitive form because the domestic championship starts on August 20, so the most important games of the season come at the wrong time. Still, Olympiakos has extremely experienced footballers who should show quality when it is most needed. Last season, they played in the group stage of the Champions League, and in the round of 16 in the Europe League, they were eliminated by Arsenal. Players like Valbuena, M’Villa, El-Arabi know how to play these matches, but Tiquinho Soares (arm), Konstantinos Fortounis (cruciate ligament), and Alexios Kalogeropoulos are unable to play due to injuries.
Olympiakos (5-4-1): Konstantinos Tzolakis (GK); Oleg Reabciuk, Pape Cisse, Ruben Semedo, Ousseynou Ba, Kenny Lala; Giorgios Masouras, Puerre Malong, Mady Camara, Mathieu Valbuena; Koka

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
