Get ready for the return leg of the Champions League 1st Qualifying Round between Sutjeska and Ludogorets. This should be an interesting match and this preview contains everything you need to know. Read on!

Ludogorets have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Parva Liga. That game was also an away game, at Septemvri Sofia. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
