Football – Europe – Champions League Betting Tips

The venue for my next pick is the Doosan Arena with hosts Viktoria Plzen taking on Ludogorets in the second leg of the Champions League play-offs on Tuesday night, and the home side have it all to do in Plzen here.

Plzen find themselves trailing by a 2-goal deficit following last week’s 2-0 defeat away in Bulgaria and they appear to have a mountain to climb if they’re to overhaul their opponents this evening in order to take their place in the group stages of the Champions League.

On the domestic front, Plzen lost 2-0 at home to Zlin on the weekend in the Czech Liga but it was a weakened side that they put out ahead of Tuesday night’s crucial clash in this elite competition.

Visitors Ludogorets know they’re just ninety minutes away from securing a Champions League group stage spot as they seek to protect their precious and valuable 2-goal lead in the Czech Republic following last week’s first leg win at their Ludogorets Arena.

Overall form has been very good for Ludogorets as they’ve won seven of their last nine matches in all competitions, but it should be noted that no fewer than five of these seven wins came on their home turf.

If you dig a bit deeper, you’ll see that Ludogorets possessed a fairly average away record in the Champions League only up until recent times as they’ve won just twice in their last ten away matches at this level. And although they recently registered wins at Mladost and Crvena, they might have a real fight on their hands this evening.
