A win for Univ. Craiova. Univ. Craiova is not a weaker team than the ones Ararat has already faced in Europe this summer. It is evident that Ararat does not feel comfortable playing away from home, and I do not think it will be any different at the stadium in Craiova.

OFI Crete won the Greek Super Cup by defeating AEK on penalties. However, they suffered three defeats in their three friendly matches against Dutch teams. Hristo Yanev's "Army Men" are having a strong season—sitting second in the domestic league—and have lost only once in ten matches (against Maccabi Tel Aviv). Here, the p

The finalist from the last edition of the Europa League arrives as a strong favorite for this match. It will also be their first official game of the new season. Freiburg recorded some good wins in their recent friendlies and appear ready for the new campaign.

Slovan Bratislava and Celje (from Slovenia) will face each other today in a Champions League qualifying match. In my opinion, the hosts are the superior side, and a home win is the most logical outcome. The visitors scraped through to this stage, relying heavily on luck. Prediction: Home win.

The hosts have suffered only one defeat in the last three months—an away loss to Sporting Lisbon—alongside home draws against Milan and Middlesbrough.

The two teams face each other at the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium in Istanbul in the first leg of the play-off round for a spot in the Champions League group stage. In my view, the advantage lies with Fenerbahçe due to the home-field factor and their strong form in the qualifiers.

Levski Sofia hosts AEK Athens in the first leg of the Champions League playoffs. The Greek side won the title last season but has made a shaky start to the new campaign, losing the domestic Super Cup on penalties. "The Blues" remain unbeaten at home in Europe and are on a winning streak on their own turf, making my "doubl

This is a riskier pick, but there is logic behind it. Džiugas is playing at home and I expect them to be the more active side; furthermore, Sūduva does not appear to be the kind of opponent against whom the hosts should be considered heavy underdogs. In a closely contested match, home advantage and superior finishing—capitalizing on the few clear-c

Novi Pazar hosts Vojvodina Novi Sad in a Serbian SuperLiga match. The visitors have been impressive so far, winning three of their first four games of the new season and clearly demonstrating good form. The hosts started the season well, but their subsequent three league matches yielded only one goalless draw and two defeats.
