Champions League qualification second leg Playoffs will be very much interesting as the clubs that lost in the first leg will put in all the energy to bounce back and reclaim their redemption. UEFA Champions League is the highest-rated league in Europe and no European club that has the opportunity to participate in this qualification will afford to get knocked out. However, I have also included other leagues to increase your chances of winning.

Featured Matches
1. Victoria Plzen vs Sheriff Tiraspol (Champions League qualification)
The Czech Republic’s best team of the season, Viktoria Plzen won the first leg of this match by a 2-1 scoreline and now have a one-goal advantage over their tonight’s opponent Sheriff Tiraspol. With this win, they have boosted their chances of qualifying for the group stages of the Champions League competition.
Victoria Plzen’s head coach Michal Bilek is doing a very wonderful job as he has won 4 of their last 5 matches. The home team still remains unbeaten at the moment.
On the other hand, Sheriff Tiraspol have performed very poorly away from home as they have managed to achieve only one win in their past eight away matches in European competitions. With that loss in their first leg and with their poor away record, the team’s morale going into this match will be down by now. However, they frequently score for themselves, scoring in 10 of their last 12 away games, but hardly come out on top.
I foresee Viktoria Plzen winning this match as they can’t afford to throw away their chances of qualifying for the big stage of the competition. Nevertheless, due to the good away scoring record of Sheriff Tiraspol, it’s likely that this game may end in over 2.5 goals. Consequently, my first choice prediction is for Viktoria Plzen to win @1.60 while my second choice is a combination of victoria Plzen to win and over 2.5 goals to come on board @2.69
2. Dinamo Zagreb vs Ludogorets
With a 2-1 advantage after the first leg of this competition, Dinamo Zagreb will be looking forward to progressing to the next stage as they have lost just four of their previous 18 games in competitions played in Europe. This season, Ante ai’s team has been in excellent form. They have gone undefeted in seven games, winning five of them.
On the contrary, their opponent Ludogorets has struggled recently away from home in Europe, losing six of their last 11 games, three of them by at least 2 goals. In fact, they have lost three of their last four games and given up two goals in two of those matches, raising severe concerns about their defense.
Furthermore, they were also beaten by Shamrock Rovers in Ireland, highlighting the difficulties Stanislav Genchev’s team is having traveling. I believe Dinamo Zagreb will triumph easily in this match judging by the poor away record of the visitors. My pick is for Dinamo Zagreb to win @1.67 odd.
3. PSV vs Monaco
PSV may not be pleased with how the first leg of their trip to France went when they met Monaco and finished their match with both teams scoring one goal which ended in a draw. They took the lead in the first half, and they continued to play very well defensively after that. Unfortunately, they lost momentum in the final 8 minutes and gave up an equalizer despite being quite near to winning this match.
Monaco struggled to perform as expected during their qualifying encounter at the home ground against the aforementioned PSV, but however, they were still able to pick a draw. They were down for the majority of the match but showed signs of improvement as the second half progressed. They then came back with a late goal to equalize the match in the 81st minute.
Their first leg result made this match to be very crucial between these two giants and I can see both of them scoring again in an attempt to progress to the next round of the competition. Consequently, more than two goals may be produced in this match. Therefore, my first pick is for both teams to score @1.53 while my second pick is a combined bet of both teams to score and over 2.5 goals to be produced @1.90
