Dinamo Minsk v Ludogorets Razgrad

Dinamo Minsk vs Ludogorets Preview

Dinamo Minsk have it all to do on Wednesday night as the Belarus outfit find themselves 2-0 down against their Bulgarian counterparts Ludogorets following last week's 1st leg loss in this Champions League 2nd qualifying round tie at the Huvepharma Arena, while Ludogorets will be looking to produce another workmanlike stint at the Stadyen Dynama as they eye off a place in the 3rd qualifying round of this competition.

Last week's 2-0 defeat at the hands of their Bulgarian opponents ended a previously promising 12-game unbeaten sequence in all competitions for Dinamo Minsk which consisted of 10 wins and two draws including a 1-0 win on aggregate against Armenian outfit, Pyunik, in the 1st qualifying round of this season's Champions League.

However, although they now return to the home surroundings of their Stadyen Dynama for this upcoming 2nd leg tie on Wednesday night, Dinamo Minsk now have to score at least three unanswered goals if they are to progress through to the next qualifying round.

Having won by three or more clear goals on home soil just twice in their last 17 home games at their Stadyen Dynama in all competitions, this looks like being a tall order for Vadim Skripchenko's side.

Ludogorets will be going in search of a third win on the trot here on Wednesday night in this return leg at the Stadyen Dynama following wins in the Bulgarian First League against CSKA Sofia and last week's 1st leg victory over Dinamo Minsk.

The visitors have also produced an encouraging sequence of results in all competitions in recent times as the Bulgarian visitors have picked up seven wins in their last eight games overall, the bulk of which have actually been achieved in pre-season friendlies but also includes a resounding 3-1 home win against Georgian club, Dinamo Batumi, in the 1st leg of their previous qualifying tie in the Champions League.

Ludogorets' only loss within these last eight games turned out to be a 1-0 loss in the 2nd leg tie against Dinamo Batumi but the visitors know they just need to avoid losing by two clear goals here on Wednesday night in order to ensure their passage through to the 3rd qualifying round.

Despite being handed three defeats in their last four outings on the road in all competitions, these have been Ludogorets' only losses in their previous 13 outings on the road and having collected eight wins in the process, the Bulgarian outfit look favourites again to secure an important win here on Wednesday night.

Dinamo Minsk v Ludogorets Verdict

Dinamo Minsk have won just once in their previous five ties in the Champions League, while Ludogorets have won three of their previous six, so the visitors look the more likely here.
