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.
