First game ended 3:0 for Ludogorets.

Shamrock is a very weak side who made a very poor performance in the first leg, showing that they don't have enough skill to compete with Ludogorets. They are already thinking in the Europa League qualifiers, where they will play after be eliminated in this stage of the Champions League. This has been the target of the club since the start of the season, and that’s why coach Bradley confirmed that will rest some key players to avoid injuries and suspensions (which are applied to Europa League too). He said:

“It'll definitely come into our thoughts when picking the team. We have players on bookings obviously and one or two with knocks. Obviously we want to try and go to win the game but we've got to think of Friday (the beginning of the FAI Cup) and next Thursday”.

Furthermore, they will miss their top assistman Bryne (9 assists) and key defender Lopes, both with small injuries.

On the other hand, Ludogorets is a much better side, as they showed in the previous game.

Despite it seems the Bulgarians should be in pre-season, that’s far from the truth, because their league is one of the earliest to start and they had the first friendly on 13th of June, therefore they have at least been more than 1 month running.

This team already has lots of automatisms working as they kept pretty much all the important players from last seasons and you can see it the way they approached differently the previous games vs Sutjeska and the 0:3 victory over Shamrock past week.

It’s also worth to consider the difference of level between the rosters, typical value portals like transfermarkt throw big differences on the numbers and if you give a closer look, Ludogorets players have experience in medium level leagues abroad like Erevidise, Bundesliga, Portuguese league, second french, belgium, MLS, Danish superleague and brazil… Even the core of bulgarias has been part of the national team in the last years. A team that traditionally had a similar level to the national Irish team, but no player from Shamrock Rovers has ever been important at NT levels.

Of course for Ludogorets there may be a lack of motivation and they could be a bit relaxed, but I think they will be competitive and will find spaces as Shamrock has nothing to lose, so will make an open game. Difference between both teams is huge and the hosts will play with some reserves, so we should see another easy game for the bulgarian team here.、

卢多戈雷茨首场比赛以 3:0 取胜。沙姆洛克是一支很弱的球队，首回合表现很差，说明他们没有足够的技术与卢多戈雷茨抗衡。他们已经在考虑欧联杯预选赛，在欧冠这个阶段被淘汰后，他们将会掉到欧联杯。自本赛季开始以来，这一直是俱乐部的目标，这就是为什么教练布拉德利确认将让一些关键球员休息以避免受伤和停赛（这也适用于欧罗巴联赛）。他说： “在挑选球队时，我们肯定会想到这一点。显然，我们有球员需要轮换。显然，我们想尝试去赢得比赛，但我们必须考虑周五（FAI 杯的开始）和下周四”。

此外，他们将缺少球队的头号助攻布赖恩（9次助攻）和关键后卫洛佩斯，两人都受了轻伤。

另一方面，卢多戈雷茨是更好的球队，正如他们所展示的那样在上一场比赛中。

尽管保加利亚人似乎应该进入季前赛，但这远非事实，因为他们的联赛是最早开始的联赛之一，他们在 6 月 13 日举行了第一场友谊赛，他们至少已经进行了 1 个多月的比赛。

这支球队已经很成熟，因为他们保留了上赛季几乎所有重要的球员，你可以看到他们在之前的比赛中与 Sutjeska 的比赛以及上周以 0:3 战胜沙姆洛克的方式。

还值得考虑球队之间的水平差异，像 transfermarkt 这样的典型价值门户网站在数字上存在很大差异，如果你仔细观察，卢多戈雷茨 的球员在国外中等水平联赛有经验，如荷甲、德甲、葡萄牙联赛、第二法国、比利时、美国职业足球大联盟、丹麦超级联赛和巴西……即使是保加利亚的核心球队，在过去几年也一直是国家队的一员。一个传统上拥有类似的团队爱尔兰国家队的级别，但沙姆洛克流浪者队的任何球员都没有在新台币级别上发挥重要作用。

当然，对于卢多戈雷茨来说，他们可能缺乏动力，可能会有点放松，但我认为他们会很有竞争力并且会找到空间，因为沙姆洛克没有什么可失去的，所以他们会进行一场开放的比赛。两支球队之间的差距很大，主队将使用一些轮换球员，所以我们应该在这里看到保加利亚球队的另一场轻松比赛。
