The final hurdle ahead of the UEFA Champions League league phase kicks off tonight, as the play-off qualifying round gets underway with three first-leg clashes, followed by another four on Wednesday night.
With Europe’s elite competition now within touching distance, teams will be desperate to take the advantage of a victory from the first leg into the reverse fixture next week, making room for plenty of drama and action.
Rangers vs Club Brugge
Rangers have faced a challenging start to life under Russell Martin’s leadership, with the Gers securing only three wins, three draws and one defeat from their first seven games of the new campaign.
While Rangers have struggled at times at the beginning of this season, a high-stakes clash against Club Brugge, who have won all of their last four matches, gives the Gers the chance to build momentum going forward. But given Club Brugge’s pedigree in Europe compared to Rangers’ poor start to the season, expect an away win here

Ferencvarosi vs Qarabag
Ferencvarosi have impressively progressed past Noah and Ludogorets Razgrad on their route to the playoff qualifying round, with crucial home victories proving the difference in each of those ties.
Those home wins will give the hosts significant confidence heading into the first leg on Tuesday, but they are expected to face a difficult challenge against a Qarabag side that have previously secured victory at this ground.
Qarabag won 3-1 at Ferencvarosi’s home ground to progress from the third qualifying round in 2022, but the hosts will be eager to get revenge and also continue their strong home record in Europe this time around.
Given Ferencvarosi’s strength at home during their Champions League qualifying campaign this term, we believe the hosts will secure the first leg win here.

Crvena Zvezda vs Pafos
Crvena Zvezda are undeniably the favourites to both secure a victory in Tuesday’s first leg encounter but also to comfortably defeat Pafos and ultimately secure their place in the Champions League league phase.
While Pafos have shown their ability in reaching this stage, the hosts are certainly the stronger team on paper and are also enjoying a superb 12-game unbeaten streak and are also undefeated in their last 20 home fixtures across all competitions.
The hosts have been particularly impressive in the final third in the early stages of this season, scoring 26 goals in just eight competitive matches, and given their expected dominance in this encounter, expect plenty of goals once again.
