PFC Cherno More Varna will welcome Turkish outfit Istanbul Basaksehir to the Ludogorets Arena in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League second qualifying round. Here's our match prediction.
The Bulgaria First Professional Football League has already begun for PFC Cherno More Varna. It was not a great start, as they drew 1-1 against FC Lokomotiv 1929 Sofia in their opening match.
Concerning how they got into this season's UEFA Europa Conference League qualifiers, they finished in third place in the 2024-25 season.
The Sailors don't have a rich history in this competition. This is just their second appearance since their debut in the previous season. It was a short-lived fairytale, as they were eliminated in the second qualifying round, losing 2-1 on aggregate.
Istanbul Basaksehir, on the other hand, claimed the fifth spot in the 2024-25 Turkish Super Lig season, which was the last spot for ensuring participation in European football.
However, it can't be stressed enough that their previous campaign was underwhelming, considering their fourth-place finish in the 2023-24 season.
The Grey Owls are making their third appearance in the UEFA Europa Conference League qualifiers. So far, they have been successful in both qualifying editions and have either advanced to the group stages or the knockout rounds.
