Qarabag v Ludogorets
Tuesday 6 August, 17:00
With props options thin on the ground on Tuesday evening, we're going to keep things simple.
Leg 1: Qarabag to win
It's to the Champions League qualifiers we head, specifically Azerbaijan where Qarabag look a solid play at home to Ludogorets.
The Bulgarian champions, who have won their domestic league 13 times in a row, are a team who started in the first qualifying round so have won two ties to get to this stage.
They've edged past Georgian's Dinamo Batumi and Dinamo Minsk, of Belarus, but what is notable about their victories is that on each occasion they lost the away leg 1-0. They've now lost 12 of their last 17 away ties in European competitions.
As expected, Qarabag brushed aside Gibraltar's Lincoln Red Imps, winning 7-0 on aggregate in their only tie so far. They followed that up with a 4-1 win on the opening day of their domestic league at the weekend.
This is a side which reached the last 16 of the Europa League last season and once there they were just minutes away from the quarter-finals only to concede two injury-time goals at eventual runners-up Bayer Leverkusen.
In short, the home side should have too much here and I'll happily put them down for victory at 8/111.73.
Leg 2: Juninho to score
And, if they are to win, star striker Juninho has every chance of scoring along the way.
He bagged four of the seven goals against the Red Imps in the last round before being rested at the weekend, although he did come on off the bench.
Last season he netted 31 times in all competitions and his efforts in the Europa League are worth paying attention to.
He scored in five of his side's 10 matches in the competition, including both knockout ties against Braga and Leverkusen.
You can get around 11/53.20 about the Brazilian scoring in a Qarabag win and that looks a decent ploy.
