Champions League. Maribor - Shakhtar (Salihorsk). Prediction for the match on July 6, 2022

July traditionally creates more and more topics for sports predictions. This week the central event will be the start of the Champions League qualification. Already today there will be a lot of interesting meetings, but no less have been left for Wednesday evening. Then the reigning champion of Belarus, Shakhtar (Salihorsk) will also play. His first opponent will be the experienced "Maribor", and you need to start in Slovenia - what will happen? We are preparing recommendations for betting rates for this match on July 6, 2022. Maribor again became the strongest club in Slovenia The Violet are by far the most successful representative of national football. He was not lost at the level of a united Yugoslavia. And during the days of independence, by 2019, he won a dozen and a half “gold” medals. But then there was a recession, and twice in a row the grand allowed someone else to become a champion in the First League. And the cup was taken at all back in 2016. Only the last draw brought a return to the lost positions. Although one cannot speak of complete dominance, “Koper” ended up 3 points behind in total. The fans have hope that at the same time the club will return to success in the international arena. Recent attempts have been unsuccessful. In 2020, “Maribor” flew out at once, moreover, from “Coleraine” from Northern Ireland. Last summer, the Slovenes dealt with Urartu, but in order to lose in both matches to Hammarby. "Maribor" - "Shakhtar" (Salihorsk) - 1.93 / 3.50 / 4.30 Shakhtar (Salihorsk) is not particularly shining so far The Pitmen currently play the status of the country's champion, and the title was taken twice in a row. But the current draw is not working for them. The start was generally overwhelmed: a defeat in the BATE Super Cup, only 1 win and 5 points in the first 5 rounds of the Premier League. It seemed that the return of Sergei Tashuev to the coaching post allowed him to gradually find his game. The team began to win, and even gave out a series of 5 victories in 6 rounds, at the same time successfully starting in the cup. But misfires like 0-1 with Minsk in May and with Torpedo-BelAZ in June show that there are still many weak points. On the other hand, Belarusians, unlike Slovenes, have playing practice. True, the match of the last round was postponed to give them a purposeful preparation for the Champions League match. Moreover, the last attempt was unsuccessful: they immediately lost to Ludogorets, and then, in the Conference League, they even lost to Foley Ash. Forecast. The Slovenians will be favorites at home, but this is their first meeting after the summer holidays. It is unlikely that they will be ready to play brightly, but Shakhtar understands that everything will be decided by the second leg. We are waiting for “total under 2.5 goals” (odds – 1.68).
