Today is the 2nd day of matches of the 2nd qualifying round of the Champions League. Teams fight to get into group stage Champions League, where the strongest European clubs play.

Yesterday there were 7 fights, one of which was of particular interest to the fans of Moscow Spartak. PAOK beat Basel 2:1. Recall that the winner of this confrontation in the sum of two matches will face Spartak in the 3rd qualifying round. On this moment the chances of both clubs are almost equal, because even the only goal of the Swiss can take the team to the 3rd round.

Matches 25.07.18

We bring to your attention several matches and quotes of bookmakers for these meetings.
Celtic – Rosenborg
Celtic is considered the favorite of the confrontation, but Rosenborg has been playing in European competitions for several years, and does it quite successfully.
P1=1.56, X=3.98, P2=6.7.
Exit to the 3rd round: Celtic = 1.31, Rosenborg = 3.46.
Totals: Over(2)=1.61, Over(2.5)=2.23. By the way, in all yesterday's matches that we brought to your attention, the total over was broken, and in each of them the odds were higher than 2.
Handicap: Rosenborg (+1)=1.83, Rosenborg(+1.5)=1.46.

BATE - HIK
The Belarusian team is considered the favorite of the meeting, and bookmakers offer a good odds for their clear victory in the match.
P1=1.56, X=3.94, P2=6.8.
Progress to the 3rd round: BATE = 1.46, HJK = 2.72.
Totals: Over(2)=1.68, Over(2.5)=2.34.
Both teams to score: Yes=2.3, No=1.59.
Handicap: BATE(-1)=2.05, BATE(-1.5)=2.71.

Ajax - Sturm
Here, bookmakers see Ajax as a clear favorite, although we have to admit that the Austrian team is far from a gift.
P1=1.33, X=5.45, P2=9.2.
Exit to the 3rd round: Ajax = 1.22, Sturm = 4.3.
Totals: Over(2.5)=1.67, Over(3)=2.1.
Handicap: Ajax(-1.5)=2.02, Ajax(-2)=2.83.

If we continue the topic of betting on football, then today you can still consider Ukrainian Premier League. Here, in the 1st round, Desna will meet with Shakhtar and Dynamo with Vorskla. True, the odds for the victory of the favorites are very small.

What do you propose to bet on today? Are there matches that we missed?

In the second qualifying round of the Champions League, 34 teams take part, which formed seventeen match pairs. The winner of each duel advances to the next stage of the tournament, while the loser is eliminated from the European Cups. The first matches are divided into three game days.

"Spartax"(Latvia) - "Astana"(Kazakhstan) 0:1
Goal: Patrick Twumasi 73

The Champions League debutant kept his gates shut for a long time. "Spartax" with the Ukrainian Artem Gabelok in the line-up (played ninety minutes) understood the strength of the opponent, but did not prostrate before him. However, "Astana" did put the squeeze on the enemy. Patrick Tvumasi's free-kick shot proved to be decisive (the Latvian goalkeeper's insecure performance was not without a hit).

APOEL(Cyprus) - "Dudelange"(Luxembourg) 1:0
Goal: Facundo Bertoglio 72

APOEL, who at one time reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League, was close to shame. The Cypriots could not score a goal against the Luxembourg champions until Facundo Bertoglio, an ex-football player of Dynamo Kyiv, got down to business. Having received the transfer in the penalty area, the Argentinean shot tightly - for sure. So APOEL got a minimal advantage before the away match.

"Sheriff"(Moldova) - "Kukes"(Albania) 1:0
Goal: Zigay Badibanga (pen) 79

“Kukes”, following the example of some other outsiders, gave a fitting rebuff to the favorite. "Sheriff" won a vital home victory only thanks to an accurate shot from the penalty spot. There is a belief that the champion of Albania is able to turn the situation around in a home match.

"Hapoel"(Beer Sheva, Israel) - "Honved"(Hungary) 2:1
goals: Miguel Vitor 35, Dan Eibinder 52 - David Landzafam 63

The case when one goal radically changes the situation. The Israeli champion landed two accurate shots (the second goal is a masterpiece after a roundhouse heel kick), but then conceded to his own net due to terrible defensive play. And now you have to go to Hungary with a warning. A minimum win will take Honvéd to the next round.

"Zrinski"(Bosnia and Herzegovina) - "Maribor"(Slovenia) 1:2
goals: Ognjen Todorovic 89 - Luka Zahovic 43, Marcos Tavares 90+4

Removal : Blaž Vrhovec 68 (Maribor)

The class of "Maribor" is so much higher that even in the minority, the Slovenes snatched the victory. First, the Bosnians lost a super-chance - an unrealized penalty. And then "Maribor" scored after a thin draw of the ball. "Zrinjski" answered in the 89th minute, but "Maribor" left the last word - a penalty and its confident implementation. 1:2. Bosnians away will be very difficult.

"Malmo"(Sweden) - "Vardar"(Macedonia) 1:1
goals: Franz Brorsson 75 - Boban Nikolov 62

Evgeny Novak (ninety minutes) helped "Vardar" to hold back the formidable "Malmo" for this stage, although the Macedonians failed to miss. When serving from a standard, the guests lost density in defensive formations and allowed the powerful Swede to score with a header. But before that there was a goal of "Vardar". Therefore, the Macedonians put this result into their asset. It is important to develop success at home.

BATE(Belarus) - "Alashkert"(Armenia) 1:1
goals: Alexei Rios 43 - Alexei Rios (own goal) 78

Rios there - and Rios here. First, the Belarusian scored into someone else's goal, and then into his own. Thus, "Alashkert" got a comfortable result on the opponent's field. Ukrainian Dmitry Hovbosha became one of the five legionnaires in the Armenian champion.

"Zalgiris"(Lithuania) - "Ludogorets"(Bulgaria) 2:1
goals: Serge Newanji 78, Mantas Kuklys 85 - Anicet Andrianantenaina 18

Removal : Darvydus Shernas 90 ("Zalgiris")

"Zalgiris" missed in the middle of the first half, after which he lulled the opponent's vigilance. The Bulgarians believed in their victory early and conceded twice. The second goal of the hosts turned out to be especially beautiful - a shot from sixteen meters into the “nine”.

Igor Plastun entered the field in the 85th minute - just when the score was changing in favor of the Lithuanians. But this confrontation is still far from the denouement.

"Mariehamn"(Finland) - "Legia"(Poland) 0:3
goals: Guilherme (pen.) 8, Nagy 39, Kasper Hamalainen 44

Removal: Anthony Dafaa 61 (Mariehamn)

Finn as part of the Polish champion scored against the strongest team last championship Finland. In general, Mariehamn's debut in the Champions League turned out to be dull - the Finns could not oppose anything to the favorite. 0:3 - the second match turns into a formality.

"Zhilina"(Slovakia) - "Copenhagen"(Denmark) 1:3
goals: Nicholas Shpalek 39 - Andreja Pavlovich 68, Andreja Pavlovich 73, Andreja Pavlovich 82

Removal: Miroslav Kacher 61 ("Zilina")

Hat-trick on account of the striker “Copenhagen”. Andrei Pavlovich knocked out his opponent within fourteen minutes of the second half. For Zilina, the Champions League is in danger of ending without really starting.

"Dundalk"(Ireland) - "Rosenborg"(Norway) 1:1
goals: David McMillan 18 - Tore Reginussen 44

Pretty even pair of rivals. Therefore, a draw is a completely natural result in the first match between representatives of the Nordic countries. Rosenborg have a minimal lead on away goals. But this nuance is unlikely to cause Dundalk to lose faith in their own strength.

"Hafnarfjordur"(Iceland) - "Vikingur"(Faroe Islands) 1:1
goals: Emil Palsson 49 - Adeshina Lawal (pen) 73

Be proud of a home draw in a match with a representative Faroe Islands Hafnarfjordur definitely can't. It is gratifying for the Icelanders only that there is one more fight ahead. And in it it will be possible to prove that Iceland is worthy of a participant in the third qualifying round of the Champions League.

From the 2018/19 season, the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League formats will change. UEFA.com details the new tournament regulations.

MAIN CHANGES

From now on, 26 teams will automatically qualify for the UEFA Champions League group stage, including the winners of the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League. Another six participants will be determined during the qualification.
Every team eliminated in the Champions League qualification will have a chance to succeed in the Europa League.
17 teams will go directly to the group stage of the Europa League, another 10 teams will automatically receive tickets to the main draw after elimination from the playoff round and the third qualifying round Champions League. The remaining 21 places will be contested in a qualification divided into two paths (Champions Path and Main Path).
A preliminary qualifying round has been introduced in the Champions League (a mini-tournament with a knockout game will be held) and in the Europa League (two-legged confrontations).
There will be no changes in the main draw of both tournaments, with the exception of the matches spaced apart in time - 18:55 CET and 21:00 CET - in the Champions League and in the Europa League.
