A place in the Europa League second qualifying round will be at stake when Levski Sofia and Ruzomberok face each other at Vivacom Arena – Georgi Asparuhov in the return leg. The Bulgarian side did well to beat the Slovaks 2-0 in Ruzomberok, meaning that they are with one foot in round 2. Levski Sofia recorded a 3-2 win over Vaduz in their last home game in the Europa League, which is certainly giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of Thursday’s football match.
A man to watch in the home team will be Brazil international Paulinho, who found the net in the first leg. Ruzomberok need a big win in the second leg if they are to advance to the Europa League second qualifying round, but seeing that they failed to impress in the 2-0 loss to Levski in front of home fans, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed from the trip to Bulgaria.
