"These are difficult matches. There is no home or away here, it is important to eliminate Dinamo Minsk. It is an advantage for the opponent, because they are much ahead of us in the game. We have no excuses and we have to play to eliminate them," Ludogorets coach Georgi Dermendzhiev announced before hosting the Belarusians from the second preliminary round of the Champions League.

"There are no favorites in such games. They are also champions. We have studied them. This is a team that plays power and direct football. We always answer the questions there. I think the team will be restored for the match. Spas Delev is a very experienced footballer. He is extremely positive for the team and I am very pleased that he is in the team," admitted Dermendzhiev.

"Kwadwo Duah had health problems after the European Championship, now he will be in the group," said Ludogorets coach.

At the end, he returned to the derby with CSKA, won 1:0. "I always wanted the championship to be equal, but there is a different attitude between the games in Europe and Bulgaria," he concluded.
