Tuesday's Champions League predictions including Fenerbahce vs. Lugano

Qarabag vs. Lincoln (Tuesday, 5.00pm)

In the second leg of the Champions League's second qualifying round, Misli Premier League champions Qarabag FK are set to host Lincoln Red Imps at the Tofiq Bahramov Republican Stadium on Tuesday.

The home side have a two-goal advantage heading into the second leg after winning 2-0 against Gibraltar's top-flight champions at Victoria Stadium last week on July 23.

We say: Qarabag FK 2-0 Lincoln Red Imps (Qarabag win 4-0 on aggregate)

If Qarabag's home record is any indication, then Lincon Red Imps could struggle once again.

Additionally, given the visitors must score at least twice, it would not be a surprise to see the hosts take advantage of Lincoln's desperation during a counter-attack.

Petrocub vs. APOEL (Tuesday, 6.00pm)

In the second leg of the Champions League's second qualifying round, Moldovan champions Petrocub Hincesti are set to host APOEL Nicosia at Stadionul Orasenesc on Tuesday.

The home side must overturn the deficit from last week's first leg, when they lost 1-0 on July 23 against Cyrpus' top-flight champions at the Neo GSP.

We say: Petrocub Hincesti 1-1 APOEL (APOEL win 2-1 on aggregate after extra time)

Petrocub were unfortunate to have lost the first leg considering APOEL only had one shot on target that was not from their penalty kick.

However, considering Petrocub's poor discipline last time out, it would not be surprising to see them reduced to 10 players at some point in Tuesday's clash, and this could effect their chances of progressing.

Sparta Prague vs. Shamrock (Tuesday, 6.00pm)

In the second leg of the Champions League's second qualifying round, Czech Republic's top-flight champions Sparta Prague are set to host Shamrock Rovers at epet ARENA on Tuesday.

The home side returned from Ireland after winning 2-0 last week on July 23 against the Irish champions at the Tallaght Stadium.

We say: Sparta Prague 2-1 Shamrock Rovers (Sparta win 4-1 on aggregate)

Although Bradley's side will no doubt make the match uncomfortable for Sparta Prague, it is difficult to see how they can recover from their deficit without more of the ball.

Additionally, with Shamrock Rovers likely pushing forward in the latter stage of the match, it would not be a surprise to see them concede chances from counter-attacks.

Fenerbahce vs. Lugano (Tuesday, 6.00pm)

Fenerbahce will be bidding to book their spot in the third qualifying round of the 2024-25 Champions League when they host Lugano on Tuesday night.

Jose Mourinho's side will bring a narrow advantage into the second leg of the second qualifying round fixture, having recorded a 4-3 victory in the first leg in Switzerland.

We say: Fenerbahce 3-1 Lugano (Fenerbahce win 7-4 on aggregate)

The first leg was a thriller, and Lugano kept themselves in the tie by scoring a third deep into stoppage time. Fenerbahce remain the big favourites, though, and we are expecting the Turkish giants to secure their spot in the next round without any major dramas.

New Saints vs. Ferencvaros (Tuesday, 7.00pm)

Hungarian champions Ferencvaros will head on their travels for Tuesday's Champions League clash with The New Saints.

After recording a dominant 5-0 win in the home leg, Ferencvaros just have to apply the finishing touches in the second leg of the second-round qualifying tie.

We say: The New Saints 1-3 Ferencvaros

Ferencvaros proved to be a class above in the first leg, and we think they will produce another dominant performance to win Tuesday's contest and ease through into the third qualifying round.

Slovan Bratislava vs. Celje (Tuesday, 7.30pm)

On Tuesday, Slovan Bratislava will welcome Celje to Stadion Tehelne pole for the second leg of the Champions League qualifying clash.

The second-round qualifying tie is finely poised after the two sides played out a 1-1 draw in Slovenia last Wednesday.

We say: Slovan Bratislava 2-1 Celje

Slovan Bratislava would have been pleased with the first-leg draw, especially as they played the majority of the game with a numerical advantage.

We think the Slovakian champions will now make full use of home advantage to claim a narrow win and advance into the next round.

KI vs. Malmo (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

In the second leg of the Champions League's second qualifying round, KI Klaksvik are set to host Malmo at Vid Djupumyraron on Tuesday.

The home side must overturn the deficit if they are to advance to the next stage of the Champions League after losing 4-1 last week on July 23 at Eleda Stadion.

We say: KI Klaksvik 1-3 Malmo (Malmo win 7-2 on aggregate)

Although Malmo's away record has been mixed of late, it is difficult to ignore the fact they are leading the tie by three goals.

It would be unsurprising to see Klaksvik exert a great amount of energy in the first half in an attempt to get an early goal, but this could lead to Malmo getting chances themselves as the match goes on.
