Wednesday's Champions League predictions including Partizan vs. Dynamo Kiev

RFS vs. Bodo/Glimt (Wednesday, 6.00pm)

After a one-sided first leg in Norway last week, Rigas Futbola Skola and Bodo/Glimt will resume their Champions League second qualifying round tie in the second leg at LNK Sporta Parks on Wednesday evening.

This week's hosts were completely outplayed in the first match between these sides and now have a mountain to climb, needing four unanswered goals to keep their qualification hopes alive.

We say: Rigas Futbola Skola 1-3 Bodo/Glimt

Bodo/Glimt were far too good for RFS at home last week and we feel they will book their place in the third round of qualifying with another commanding victory in the second leg of this tie.

Midtjylland vs. UE Santa Coloma (Wednesday, 6.15pm)

Danish champions FC Midtjylland will face off against UE Santa Coloma in the second leg of their Champions League second-round tie at the MCH Arena in Herning on Wednesday evening.

The hosts secured a commanding 3-0 lead in Andorra last week and are 90 minutes away from a spot in the third round, where they are likely to face Ferencvaros, who are leading The New Saints 5-0.

We say: FC Midtjylland 3-0 UE Santa Coloma

Having secured a comfortable lead in the first leg on the road, Midtjylland will return to Denmark this week feeling very good about their chances of progressing. Based on last week's performance, we feel the Danish champs will claim another impressive result in this one.

M. Tel Aviv vs. FCSB (Wednesday, 7.00pm)

Maccabi Tel Aviv and FCSB will resume their Champions League second-round qualification battle when they meet in the second leg on Wednesday evening.

Owing to the current situation between Israel and Hamas, this second-leg encounter will take place in neutral Hungary at the Bozsik Arena in Budapest.

We say: Maccabi Tel Aviv 2-1 FCSB

FCSB passed up several opportunities to secure a lead coming into this second leg and now face a significant challenge, having to win away from home, albeit at a neutral venue.

Maccabi Tel Aviv would undoubtedly been the happier of the sides with last week's stalemate and we feel they will be able to secure their spot in the next round with a victory in this one.

Partizan vs. Dynamo Kiev (Wednesday, 7.00pm)

Partizan will try to overturn a massive four-goal deficit when they take on Dynamo Kiev in the second leg of their Champions League second-round qualifier at Stadion Partizana on Wednesday.

The Ukrainian Premier League outfit won last week's match 6-2 at the Arena Lublin stadium in neutral Poland, setting one foot in the next qualifying round where they will meet Scottish Premiership giants Rangers.

We say: Partizan 1-3 Dynamo Kiev

While Partizan are expected to put on a better showing this week, there was a clear gulf in class in the first leg, and we feel that Dynamo will secure their place in the next round with another fairly comfortable victory in this one.

Jagiellonia vs. Panevezys (Wednesday, 7.30pm)

Off the back of a resounding 4-0 victory in the first leg, Jagiellonia Bialystok will be looking to complete the job in their Champions League qualifier against Panevezys at Stadion Miejski on Wednesday.

The away side, meanwhile, make the trip with a mountain to climb if they are to keep their dreams of featuring in Europe's premier club competition alive.

We say: Jagiellonia Bialystok 3-1 Panevezys

Given their significant advantage heading into this one, Jagiellonia can afford to take their foot off the gas a bit but they will be keen to put on a show on home turf. We are tipping the hosts to carry the day at the end of the 90 minutes here.

Dinamo Minsk vs. Ludogorets (Wednesday, 7.45pm)

Dinamo Minsk and Ludogorets Razgrad return to action in the Champions League qualifiers when they square off at the Mezokovesdi Varosi Stadion in the second leg of the second qualifying round on Wednesday.

Having suffered defeat in Bulgaria last week, the Belarusian outfit will be looking to overturn a two-goal deficit in front of their home supporters and continue their quest for a first European appearance since 2016.

We say: Dinamo Minsk 1-2 Ludogorets Razgrad

Having secured a two-goal advantage in the first leg, Ludogorets head into Wednesday's clash in the driver's seat and this should give them all the confidence they need at the Mezokovesdi Varosi Stadion. While we expect Dinamo Minsk to go all out in search of a way back into the tie, we predict the Bulgarian outfit will come out tops once again, albeit by the odd goal this time.

Borac Banja Luka vs. PAOK (Wednesday, 8.00pm)

A thrilling Champions League qualifying tie between Borac Banja Luka and PAOK reaches its conclusion at the Gradski Stadion on Wednesday.

The hosts have a narrow deficit to make up from the first leg, but their visitors will know that there is still all to play for in this one.

We say: Borac Banja Luka 1-2 PAOK

Based on the evidence of last week's meeting, Borac Banja Luka and PAOK are on course to serve up another exciting matchup and we are backing the visitors to come out on top and complete the job.
