Yep. I had a good feeling with PSV that they will eliminate Monaco because PSV has been trying for 3 years to get into UCL groups and they finally have the squad that will most likely get them there. Monaco squad is on the end of the road for some players and this generation made a lot of great achievements during this period.

Also , great qualify for Kiev again as Lucescu really knows how to enter UCL groups with small teams that have been coaching in his career.

Thought it was over for them, now they'll make good value bet to win the away leg against PSV -- I know people rate the Dutch teams a lot but really beyond Ajax and Feyenoord I'd take Rangers any day if it's at least 4/1 Wink


not sure about Rangers against PSV, but it will be an interesting pair, Dutchman is on Rangers bench, and 3:0 at home against Belgians proved that they are not thinking about easy surrender

they had their chance to secure CL spot against Eintracht, backed them to win EL last season, but they missed, although played very good

Dinamo also passed Ludogorets, with easy home win

Rangers did big comeback after loss 2:0 in 1st leg and now they won 3:0.

It would have been very strange if Rangers hadn't managed to get through this qualifier. The result of the first leg was totally unexpected, but they managed to turn it around and win the tie.
Now, I don't know if Rangers will be able to beat PSV in the play-off. I think in these games PSV will have the advantage.
PSV beaten Monaco 3/2 but Rangers today beaten Union saint Gallios 3/0 ... So it's very difficult to preview rangers and PSV match in the Play off 2 .

PSV - Monaco game went to extra time where after Luuk de Jong goal PSV earned place in next round. I actually hate that one of these teams had to be eliminated so early.
Sturm - Dynamo Kyiv was equal game, but in extra time Dynamo were much better. Vivcherenko goal, then Sturm red card and Tsygankov answers all questions with goal.
Qarabag made surprise by winning against Ferencvaros away so easy, Fradi rarely lose there. Ferencvaros managed to score once, what didn't changed anything.
Dinamo Zagreb 4:2 Ludogorets. 3 red cards of Ludogorets, wow! And despite it they managed to stay in the fight almost till the end.
Apollon made big surprise by winning 2:0 Maccabi Haifa, but it wasn't enough for them after 4:0 loss in 1st leg.
Rangers did big comeback after loss 2:0 in 1st leg and now they won 3:0.

PSV and Monaco will have an equally interesting game after their last draw. Both teams need a win, but the chances are about the same, although PSV play well at home, plus they have been scoring a lot of goals lately. I think that after the away game in Monaco they can arrange something similar at home. I think they should win this game.
I also thought that PSV would have an advantage at home and it was true in the first half, they won 1:0, but in the second half Monaco changed everything, scored two goals and are already winning. The intrigue in this match is heating up very much, will PSV really lose at home. And now I see the Rangers score the second goal and already win 2:0, thus they get at the moment to transfer this game to extra time, unless of course if they not score more.

As I understand, all 2nd leg will be played today because Wednesday is reserved for UEFA Super Cup. I tend to make bet on Dinamo Zagreb win today. Everything is already decided in Zalgiris - Bodo/Glimt and Pyunik - Crvena Zvezda pairs, and I think that we can high scoring games again, I go with over 2.5 in both games. Very attractive odds for Maccabi Hifa - 2.00. Maccabi is in very good form recently. Benfica should reach another win today.
After first leg I don't have that much faith in Rangers, I'll skip their game. PSV - Monaco also looks too tricky to bet. And in Sturm - Dynamo Kyiv game I go with under 2.5 @1.75

Those betting on the Dinamo/Ludogorets match should know that Ludogorets will be missing some key players. Pieros Sotiriou, their top striker who scored twice against Shamrock in the previous round, was recently sold in Japan. The player who scored in the first leg against Dinamo is not playing today, while several other key midfielders are out due to injury and cards. Regarding Dinamo, i've heard rumors that their fans are unhappy with the coach and may try to force him out of the team. I'm not sure if there is any truth to those claims, perhaps someone from Croatia can confirm? Nonetheless, Dinamo Zagreb was not particularly convincing against Shkupi, and they were held to a draw over the weekend against a weak team like Varazdin. So yeah, both teams entering this really important match with problems.

That being said, i expect goals today. I saw highlights from the first leg, and it felt like a fairly open match with plenty of opportunities for both teams. Ludogorets' previous two visits to Croatia against Dinamo ended with both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals...

It's interesting, how Ludogorets will play today against Dinamo Zagreb.  In the last game, it didn't go well for Ludogorets, they conceded on 8 minutes and even scored an own goal, but managed to get one back. I think that today Dinamo will win, because they usually play well at home, but I think that Ludogorets will also play well after the disappointing mistakes in the last match.

Ludogorets are very unlucky. They lost the previous match due to some small mistakes of their own. Ludogorets would not have been defeated in this match, if they did not score an own goal. However, Dinamo Zagreb is more likely to win today's match. As a group they are quite stable. Moreover, Dinamo is always favorite in home matches. Dinamo Zagreb may not face any problem to win today's match.
However, these two teams are two teams that really dominate their respective local leagues, so even though I can say Dinamo Zagreb has the lead in aggregate, Ludogorets still has a chance to qualify as well. Because with Dinamo Zagreb's advantage it also allows them to focus on defending, so Ludogorets have a chance to be able to score goals if they can be consistent to create strong pressure for the home team. It is interesting to look forward to, these two teams have high prestige because as the strongest team in the local league, of course they have to get tickets to play in the Champions League.

I have a feeling that PSG will make it into UCL groups and most likely will defeat Monaco tonight as they play on home pitch and we all know that PSV fans will make the game difficult for their opponents. Another game that should be nice to watch is Royale Union getting another victory over Rangers because that team is really playing good and Rangers seems that they lost the momentum from last 2 years.

Initially replied this as you said PSG but I knew you meant later the Dutch team.

I got no money on the French but as soon as Monaco qualify (heh) I will do an outright on them. For fun, of course.

You will join the UCL pool right? =)

Ranger has been in great form recently so I think that although it is extremely difficult to turn around a 2-0 loss in Belgium it can be done.They need the full support of the home crowd and they need to play extremely cold headed if they want to win at least with 2 goals advantage today,which would translate to the game going in additional time.

Beside that tonight games it looks like there is a lot of money to be made,many favorites have already won their first leg away and at home it is only natural for them to win again.A chance to not be missed I would say.
Or if the favorites have already confidently won in the first match, then they can still play a draw because they no longer need a victory. Or coaches can give young players the opportunity to play to give them the experience of playing in the Champions League when the issue with this opponent is resolved and there no big responsibility.

Rangers can win at home, this is an experienced team, they will be the favorites today, there is no doubt, but it is not entirely clear what the USG are capable of, they were preparing for today's match because they lost 0-3 to Mechelen in the championship, some players did not play, so it looks like they have big plans for this game.

Today the Rangers have to prove that in the first match their defeat was a misunderstanding, native walls should help, but I'm not sure that the match will be easy for them today. The difficulty of further participation in the Champions League also lies in the fact that the winner of this pair goes to the winner of the match between PSV and Monaco, and here we can say that it will be much more difficult to pass this opponent, so no matter how sad it sounds, Rangers and USG will determine today which of them is stronger, and further participation and advancement to the group stage seems very unlikely.

I'm curious about how the Plzen - Sheriff Tiraspol matchup will end as well. I would like to remind you of Sheriff Tiraspol's very brave play in the Champions League group stage last season. As you can remember there were even too strong teams like Inter and Real Madrid in the group. But they still performed really well and even beat Real Madrid once in Santiago Bernabeu. They continued on their way in the Europa League after.

Now they are 2-1 behind in this matchup and the rematch is an away one for them as well. Bookmakers see their chance as very low also. To be honest, I also think that their journey is ending before reaching the group stage this time.

Interestingly, three of yesterday's five matches ended with a big score and a complete defeat for the visitors... I was also surprised by Azerbaijan club Karabakh Aghdam who managed to draw with Hungary's Farenzvaros... I thought they would also lose badly, but they got lucky...
