Betting suggestion:

This match puts face-to-face teams in a very dubious moment, but Slavia Sofia is more organized in the different moments of the match. In this way, we believe that the locals will have the best chances to score goals, however, Ilves's transitions should create several difficulties for the local team. Having said this and taking into account also the successive offensive gaps of the teams, betting in favor of a game with few goals is a good option.

Preview
Slavia Sofia and Ilves face at Stadion Vasil Levski, in a 2nd leg match for the UEFA Europa League (1st Qualifying Round), after the (0‑1) away win by Slavia Sofia in the 1st leg match. Ilves registers significant differences between home and away results, so special attention is due to the home/away factor.

Analysis Slavia Sofia

After the away win by (0‑1), the home team comes to this 2nd leg match with an advantage of 1 goal. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 2 draws and 8 losses in away matches; against 6 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses at their stadium. Slavia Sofia has won 5, tied 3 and lost 2 of the last 10 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches.

Slavia Sofia's side comes to this game with a 0-1 away victory over Ilves, taking an important step in these European League qualifiers: Tsvetanov scored the only goal of the clash. In this home game the team should play in 4-2-3-1 benefiting possession and the organized attacks, looking for in most occasions the striker Angelov: this player is a very powerful and strong in the finalization. Nevertheless, we emphasize that the locals present some weakness in the defensive organization. For this game coach Zlatomir Zagorcic can count on all his players.

Confirmed Lineup: Antonis Stergiakis, Emil Martinov, Andrea Hristov, Yanis Karabelyov, Momchil Tsvetanov, Dimitar Velkovski, Galin Ivanov, Georgi Yomov, Milen Gamakov, Milcho Angelov.
Coach: A. Emilov Aleksandrov, Z. Zagorčić.

Analysis Ilves

After the home loss in the 1st leg, the away team comes to this 2nd leg with a disadvantage of 1 goal and the hard task of having to come back from a negative result in an away match. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 14 goals scored and 21 conceded; against 8 wins, 6 draws and 1 loss at their stadium, with 19 goals scored and 8 conceded. In the last 10 away matches Ilves has won 3, tied 1 and lost 6. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 5 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 20 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 9 of their 25 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Ilves heads to this game with a 0-1 home defeat to Slavia Sofia, thus adding the third official game without winning. Coach Jarkko Wiss is expected to lead a more direct squad to the field, looking for the counterattack in order to take advantage of the space on the opponent's back: Tamminen may be the most important player in this kind of transition. It is important to note that Marius Noubissi is the best scorer of the Ilves team in the current Finnish championship with 6 goals scored. It seems that the coach can not rely on Mensah due to injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Mika Hilander, Diogo Tomas, Felipe Aspegren, Jani Tanska, Tatu Miettunen, Matias Ojala, Lauri Ala-Myllymäki, Tuure Siira, Eero Tamminen, Marius Noubissi.
Coach: M. Thiaw, T. Kallio.
