All Square Going into Leg Two?

Rijeka booked their spot in the Champions League qualifiers by winning the Croatian title last term. The Whites were excellent, winning 50% of their league matches, beating Dynamo Zagreb to the title on head-to-head points.

Having secured their first championship since 2017, Rijeka are back in UEFA’s elite club competition. They went all the way to the play-off round eight years ago, losing out to Greek giants Olympiacos at the final hurdle.

Ludogorets Razgrad won the Bulgarian title for the 14^th consecutive time, booking their spot in the Champions League qualifiers again. It was a great year for the Eagles, as they also won the Bulgarian Cup and Bulgarian Supercup. However, they failed to get past the league phase of the UEFA Europa League.

Ludogorets sealed a spot in the second qualifying round after beating Dinamo Minsk in round one. They won 1-0 at home thanks to Filip Kaloc’s late strike, and a 2-2 draw in Hungary was enough to see Razgrad through.
