First nine games tonight

After a week of excitement and some surprised results in the competition now it is time for the return legs. Tonight we will find out first nine teams who will go in the penultimate qualifying stage for the Champions league.

- Alashkert - Dinamo Tbilisi. First game of the night starts with Armenian champions who are chasing a two goals deficit. It will be really tough for Alashkert to continue knowing that Dinamo Tbilisi are also capable of scoring as visitors. Georgian club are favorites on paper and as both teams are really strong we are expecting an exciting draw.
- Liepaja - Red Bull Salzburg. Last week Austrians barely won their duel against the Latvian champions. In the summertime Liepaja are achieving some positive results at home but we still believe Red Bull Salzburg are too strong for them and will come out victorious.
- APOEL Nicosia - TNS (The New Saints). It will be a real surprise if anything happens to APOEL in tonight's game where the Cypriot club are big favorites. After the scoreless disappointment from the first leg, TNS will now have to go for it to the end by (even) winning the game. Knowing that APOEL are also in a very poor form at home, we believe that a minimal result will decide the game in favor of the Cypriots.
- Sheriff Tiraspol - Hapoel Beer Sheva. This game may be called a derby of the night as their last game in Israel (unexpectedly) became one of the interesting to watch. Its very obvious that Hapoel Beer Sheva will defend its 3:2 lead which means that only victory for the Moldavian team can progress them through. Sheriff played an excellent first game in Israel, even scored a goal with 10 man, so if you really want something you can achieve that. Sheriff will avoid a draw and have to win this one.
- Seinajoki JK - BATE Borisov. Finnish team is also chasing a two goal minus and playing in home it seems easy to achieve that. But their famously rivals BATE Borisov will try to go for another win. In these hot days they are achieving mixed results so its a real question if they are capable of achieving another victory. At the end a draw would be fair for both.
- FC Copenhagen - Crusaders. From all pairs in this qualifying round it seems that FC Copenhagen have the easiest opponent. Northern Ireland champions humiliated themselves last week by losing the game 3:0. Tonight we can expect a similar (if not the same) result for the Danish club.
- Crvena Zvezda - Valletta. After last Tuesday's surprised first half goal from Valletta, everyone thought that another famous team would go down. Tonight the Serbian club is playing at home and cannot disappoint their supporters once again with bad play. This summer Crvena Zvezda (Red Star) has signed some new players to refresh the team and those newbies can solve the game.
- Legia - Zrinjski. A surprised result seven days ago can lead to another draw tonight. Legia is playing some awful football at home and currently cannot seems to find their winning form. Its really a mystery to predict the outcome of this game as Zrinjski as visitors are also bad. Everything points to the fact that it can end up in another (same) draw, but after that anything is possible.
- Mladost Podgorica - Ludogorets Razgrad. Montenegro club Mladost face Bulgarian champions in one of the last game on the night. It seems like summer football is not a good time for both clubs as are achieving some mixed results. However, favorites Ludogorets Razgrad are in a slight advantage over its rivals and 'steal' the away victory.
