The first match between these opponents did not please us with goals. There were none at all - the meeting ended in a draw (0-0). However, even in Slovenia, Sheriff completely justified the status of favorites - nine shots on the opponent's goal, six of which came on target. Maribor, on the other hand, took only one shot. It was the Moldovan club that was much closer to victory, and its progression to the next stage was surely only a matter of time.
We don't think Maribor have any chance of success in the upcoming game. Sheriff performed sensationally last season in the group stage of the Champions League, and in Tiraspol, they won't be without the support of the fans. In the first meeting, the Moldovan club was unlucky. We think that in the second one, they will be successful, so we expect a confident win.
- Bet: Handicap 1 (-1)
Shamrock Rovers vs Ludogorets: At least two goals in the meeting
In the first leg, the more high-profile and powerful Ludogorets left no chance for Shamrock Rovers. The Irish team was beaten in Bulgaria by three goals to 0-3. Ludogorets were already 2-0 up by the 35th minute, and they made the return leg a mere formality in injury time.
It would be difficult to imagine that Shamrock Rovers, notably weaker than Ludogorets, could come away with a three-goal lead. But there is no doubt that the home side will put up a good fight in front of their fans. Once again, we will probably see an upper hand, as the home side will have to play on the attack, but the visitors will also be extremely dangerous on the counter attack. We suggest betting on at least two goals in this encounter.

Shkupi vs Dinamo Zagreb: The Croatian side can progress to the next stage
Hardly anyone could have predicted the outcome of this encounter. The renowned Dinamo Zagreb were the clear favorites to take on the relatively modest Shkupi from Northern Macedonia but failed to defeat them. The Croatian club came from 0-1 down to take the lead, but in the 89th minute, Shkupi managed to equalize (2-2).
In the return leg, bookmakers also see Dinamo as the clear favorite, and it is hard to disagree with them. The Croatian club is a regular participant in the group stages of various European competitions, which cannot be said about Shkupi. We think the visitors will be able to work on their mistakes and clinch a win in the return leg, earning a ticket to the next round of qualification.
