Ludogorets Razgrad has once again clinched the Bulgarian championship title for the fourteenth time in a row. There's hardly any serious competition at home and the Eagles dominate at will. But they continue to struggle internationally, although the big dream of reaching the Champions League main round remains the same goal year after year. The last time they were able to realize this dream was in the 2016-17 season. Since then it has regularly ended earlier. However Ludogorets manage to win the first leg against Dinamo Minsk 1-0 at home with late equalizer from Filip Kaloc. Acquired from FC Kaiserslautern for over €2 million, he is expected to provide structure, technique and passing accuracy. The individual quality speaks for the Bulgarians. Players like Camara, Caio Vidal, and Tekpetey have the ability to hurt any opponent in this round. But without efficiency and composure in front of goal, the poor first-leg result could come back to haunt them. This game will take place in Hungary at Mezokovesdi Varosi Stadion.
