FK Crvena Zvezda vs Ludogorets

This is one of the most interesting matches in this year's semi-final of the Champions League qualifying stage. After the first match, there is a tremendous amount of pressure on both teams to qualify for the next stage. For the home team, the first goal is to show a good effort in front of the full stadium of one of the best fan bases in the world. Delije are right in there with the Olympiacos and River Plata fans. The other thing is that home side is desperate to make this work. Qualifying for the next round guarantees them $10 mill. for a certain spot in the Europa League, and $25 if they qualify for the Champions League. They desperately need that money. 

Visiting side, on the other hand, spent close to $50 mill. over the last couple of years, and the only way they get that money back is the Champions League. And the first game left them having to either win this game or score at least 2 goals. This game can get out of control really quick. And the referee is known for reaching into his pocket rather lightly. Just take a look at the last couple of games he was officiating. 

Our pick for this game is over 4.5 cards. This can easily come true in the game with this kind of pressure. And the odds are quite good. The only issue will be finding a market for it. We found it locally, and if you can, don't miss this value bet. Medium stake for this one and as always, Good Luck.

Qarabag FK vs Viktoria Plzen

This is a semifinal round of this year's champions league qualifiers. These games usually carry a lot of pressure for all sides involved. This pressure stems from clubs needing to match certain expectations. In this case, the home team is looking to justify the money spent on this squad. This round is very important to them because if they get passed Plzen , they are guaranteed to participate in the Europe League at least, and have the chance to get into Champions League.

Now this is a matchup of champions of their respective leagues, and everything is exactly the same for Plzen as well. But homecourt advantage here is undeniable. Objectively, Qarabag has a great chance to secure their spot in the Europe this year, and Plzen will still have one more round for the Europe League.

The reason I really like this pick is the fact that odds are offering a great deal of value. At these odds, I am more than willing to stake the home team with a smaller stake. Good Luck.
