Dinamo Minsk will invite Ludogorets to Mezőkövesdi Városi Stadion in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League second qualifying round on Wednesday. The two sides met in the first leg in Bulgaria last week, which Ludogorets won 2-0.
The hosts suffered their first loss since May in the first leg and will look to bounce back with a win here. They are unbeaten at home in all competitions since March and were held to a goalless draw at home in the first qualifying round against Pyunik.
The visitors have won their last two games, keeping clean sheets in both. Interestingly, they suffered a 1-0 away loss in the first qualifying round against Dinamo Butami and will look to improve upon that record.
The hosts have not qualified for the group stage of the Champions League. They last played in the group stage of a European competition in the 2015-16 UEFA Europa League. The visitors last played in the Champions League group stage in the 2016-17 campaign.

Dinamo Minsk vs Ludogorets Prediction
Minsk suffered their first loss in all competitions since May in the first leg, failing to score for the second time in three games. They are unbeaten in their last three home games in the Champions League qualifiers, with these games ending in draws. Sergei Politevich and Vadzim Pihas are suspended for this match due to yellow card accumulation.
The Eagles have won three of their four competitive games this season, keeping two clean sheets. Interestingly, their only loss this term has come in their travels. They have just one win in their last nine away games in the Champions League qualifiers, suffering five consecutive losses, which is a cause for concern.
Considering the hosts' struggles in Champions League qualifiers and the visitors' poor away record in the competition, the two teams are expected to settle for a low-scoring draw.
