Champions League qualifying acca tips: Limassol to shut coffin on Borisov, Ludogorets on ropes
Aris Limassol
Planet Sport takes a closer look at four Champions League qualifying matches taking place this Tuesday night.
Qualifying action continues in the Champions League this week, with eight teams fighting for a spot in the next round.
While two of the ties are as good as over, there are two more which could throw up late drama.
We take a closer look at the state of play and offer tips along the way as we build a tasty Tuesday night acca.
Panathinaikos (GRE) vs Dnipro-1 (UKR) - Agg. 3-1
Panathinaikos were as clinical as can be in the opening leg as they converted all of their three shots on target into goals.
Ukrainian side Dnipro face a mammoth task of turning around the tie and will undoubtedly have to commit men forward in a desperate attempt to score.
This could leave them a tad vulnerable at the back, with Panathinaikos ready to pounce from the counter.
With the home crowd behind them, we're backing the host to win and over 2.5 goals in what should be a lively affair.
BATE Borisov (BLR) vs Aris Limassol (CYP) - Agg. 2-6
Aleksey Shpilevsky made headlines back in his home country of Belarus last season after taking Aris Limassol to the Cypriot title - the club's first ever championship.
The headlines were far less flowery after the manager oversaw a 6-2 demolition of Belarusian champions BATE Borisov in the first leg of their Champions League qualifying tie.
Limassol boast a healthy lead and arguably have one foot in the next round.
BATE have no alternative but to attack, especially in front of their home fans. With that in mind, we're backing both teams to score.
TIP: Both teams to score
Olimpija Ljubljana (SLO) vs Ludogorets (BUL) - Agg. 1-1
Bulgarian champions Ludogorets were overwhelming favourites to win the opening leg, yet they could only muster a 1-1 draw against Olimpija Ljubljana.
Buoyed by the result, the Slovenian outfit carried on their momentum into their league fixture - one which they won 5-0 against Rogaska.
Ludogorets are once again favoured by the bookies but considering Olimpija have lost just two of their last 20 home games, this is the time to take on the odds-makers.
Slovan Bratislava (SVK) vs Zrinjski (BIH) - Agg. 1-0
Slow and steady must be the motto over at Slovan Bratislava if their football is anything to go by.
The Slovakian outfit have scored four goals from their last four games - including their earlier Champions League qualifying round clash with Hesperange.
Slovan have kept three straight clean sheet and haven't conceded a goal in 338 minutes of competitive soccer.
While Zrinjski will give it a good shot, we're backing a low scoring encounter in Bratislava. Under 2.5 goals is the way to go in this one.
TIP: Under 2.5 goals
