Levski vs. Borac Banjaluka: a clash of styles
Odds
PFC Levski Sofia are the slight favourites at 1.83 to beat FK Borac Banjaluka in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League Qualification 2026 2nd Qualifying Round clash, but the visitors are in solid form at 4.35 and there is no landslide leaning towards blue when it comes to the odds.
Context
This is the first competitive meeting between the two clubs, but after a 1-1 draw in the first leg, this series is finely poised.
With that in mind, it is worth looking at the recent form of both teams for guidance and Levski's recent five-game run of 1 win, 3 draws and 1 defeat doesn't look as strong as Borac's 3 wins and 2 draws during the same period.
Levski are possession-orientated
Levski
Julio Velazquez has overseen Levski's transition towards a possession-first, rotation-based system since he took charge in January 2025.
The Bulgarian capital club, who typically line up in a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3, are a patient, probing side who keep the ball for long periods of time and wait for gaps to appear.
Key players and Borac setup
- Juan Perea's brace of goals in Levski's current five-game spell of results gives him 2 of their 4 strikes, while Armstrong Oko-Flex is the team's top scorer in UEFA Champions League Qualification 2026 with 1 goal in 1 game.
- Borac are a much more compact, counterpunching team than Levski and Vinko Marinovic's 4-2-3-1 or 4-5-1 system, installed since July 2025, allows the visitors to sit deep, stay organized and attack quickly on the break or set pieces.
- Luka Juricic leads the way for Borac with 1 goal in 1 match in UEFA Champions League Qualification 2026, but he has scored 3 of their total of 5 in their current five-game unbeaten run, meaning Borac will likely look to hit the Bulgarian team on the counter-attack on Tuesday.
Back the draw or Borac for a third time
With the opening leg having finished all square and these teams having contrasting styles of play, this is a bit of a chess match and it is difficult to call a winner.
Levski have won 3 and lost 1 of their 4 home games in all competitions, scoring 1.00 and conceding 0.25 per game.
Meanwhile, Borac have won 3 and drawn 2 of their 5 away matches, scoring 1.00 and only conceding 0.20 per away game.
Under 2.5 goals is available at 1.6 and BTTS-No at 1.7, but both of those odds point towards a close, cagey European game, rather than a thrilling shootout.
The safest bet looks to be to take the draw at 3.3 or the away win at 4.35, and a repeat of the 1-1 score from the opening game is also appealing.
