Champions League Qual: Ludogorets vs Rijeka 30/07/2025

Betting on handicap

Second leg of the Conference League second qualifying round. In the first match, Araz won 2–1.

Aris clearly has the more expensive and higher-quality squad, but based on what we saw in the first leg, the heavy favoritism is not justified.

Uzunidis’ team looked very unprepared, disjointed, and in need of serious work. With 14 new signings already, it’s understandable they’ll need time to gel. One week might bring some improvement — but not a complete transformation.

Araz looked more ready, even though they’re also early in their season. They were the better side for most of the match and created good chances late on when space opened up — they could’ve scored again.

Odds around 1.35 for the Aris win might make sense later in the year. Right now, there’s not that much separating these two sides, and the +1.5 handicap on Araz offers real value.
