Levski to edge it again
PFC Levski Sofia are the narrow favorites at 1.83, but FK Borac Banjaluka are no pushovers at 4.35, with the draw sitting at 3.3, so the market has this matchup as a blue affair, but not a done deal.
This preview suggests a tightly balanced tie, and this is a first competitive meeting between the sides, so we don't have too much history to go on, but the first leg did end 1-1, so it would be no surprise to see a repeat result on Tuesday.
Levski's recent form reads a solid, but slightly stop-start, 4 wins, 5 draws and 1 defeat across their last 10 games in all competitions, but they come into this match on a two-game drawing streak, including a 0-0 away draw with FC CSKA 1948 and a 1-1 draw with Borac.
Julio Velazquez took over as Levski head coach in January 2025 and has implemented a possession-first approach where they will keep the ball, keep it simple, rotate the ball wide to overload and control the game until an opening is created.
Borac are a different beast and Vinko Marinovic has overseen a transformation since his appointment in July 2025.
His side are a compact, disciplined team, who prefer a 4-2-3-1 or 4-5-1 setup and will sit deep, stay organised and look to counter and break with pace when the chance arises.
Borac's recent results include a 0-0 draw at Radnik Bijeljina and a 2-0 home win over NK Posusje in the Premier Liga 2025/2026, plus the 1-1 draw with Levski in UEFA Champions League Qualification 2026.
That should make for an interesting matchup in Bulgaria, and it will be a chess match between Levski on the ball and Borac looking to exploit turnovers and space behind the defence.
Armstrong Oko-Flex tops Levski's goals list in this competition with 1 goal in 1 game, while Luka Juricic leads the way for Borac with 1 in 1 in UEFA Champions League Qualification 2026, but he's in red-hot form with 3 of Borac's last 5 goals.
Juan Perea has 2 goals in Levski's last 5, so he looks to have the best chance of netting in this one with 50% of Levski's total goals in the last 5.
Under 2.5 goals at 1.6 and BTTS-No at 1.7 is the best way to go as this looks set to be a tight, cagey European game rather than a goal-fest.
