Borac Banja Luka host Levski Sofia in the UEFA Champions League 1st Qualifying Round, with the Bosnian champions looking to make their mark on European football's biggest stage at Gradski stadion Banja Luka.
Borac arrive in strong domestic form, having dominated the Bosnian Premijer Liga in the closing months of the season — winning seven of their final ten league matches and conceding very little. Their pre-season preparations have been mixed, including a heavy friendly loss to Akhmat, but the underlying league form is encouraging. Home advantage is a genuine factor here.
Levski Sofia, one of Bulgaria's most storied clubs, also enter with solid recent form. The Bulgarian side won seven of their last ten First League matches and have been sharp in pre-season friendlies, putting four and six goals past lower-level opposition. They travel with confidence and genuine quality.
No statistical data is available for either team's current season, and there is no head-to-head record between these sides to reference. The prediction leans narrowly toward Borac on home advantage and the psychological boost of playing in front of their own supporters in a high-stakes European tie. However, Levski's pedigree and away form make this genuinely competitive. A tight, low-scoring affair is expected, with the home side edging it.

Borac Banja Luka closed out the Bosnian Premijer Liga season in impressive fashion, winning seven of their last ten competitive matches and keeping multiple clean sheets. Their defensive solidity was a standout feature — conceding just once across several consecutive league victories. Pre-season has been more uneven, with a 3-1 friendly defeat to Akhmat offset by a comfortable win over Sutjeska. They have eight days of rest heading into this tie, meaning fatigue is not a concern. Their home record in the Premijer Liga was strong, and that fortress mentality will be crucial in European competition.

Levski Sofia arrive in solid form after a productive end to the Bulgarian First League season, winning seven of their last ten matches. They demonstrated the ability to beat quality domestic opposition, including victories over CSKA Sofia. Pre-season has been encouraging — a 6-0 and 4-0 win over lower-level Bulgarian sides shows attacking sharpness, though a draw with Botev Vratsa suggests they are still finding their rhythm. With ten days of rest and low fatigue risk, Levski are well-prepared. Their experience in European qualifying — a regular feature for the club — gives them a composure advantage in high-pressure knockout ties.

Borac Banja Luka vs Levski Sofia - Match Analysis
Borac earned their Champions League spot by dominating the Bosnian Premijer Liga, finishing the season with an impressive run of wins and clean sheets. Playing at Gradski stadion Banja Luka in front of their own supporters provides a genuine psychological and tactical advantage. In European qualifying, home sides from smaller leagues often outperform expectations in the first leg, using crowd energy and familiarity with the pitch to compensate for any quality gap with their opponents.
Under 2.5 Goals stands out as the top alternative market. First-leg European qualifiers are typically cautious, with both teams prioritizing defensive shape over attacking risk. Borac kept multiple clean sheets in their final league run, and Levski are disciplined away from home. Draw No Bet on Borac is another smart option — it backs the home side while refunding your stake if the match ends level, reducing risk in what is expected to be a tight contest.

Levski Sofia are one of Bulgaria's most historically significant clubs and have featured in European qualifying on multiple occasions. That experience matters in high-pressure knockout football, where composure and tactical discipline can be decisive. Unlike Borac, who are relative newcomers to this stage, Levski's players are likely familiar with the demands of away legs in European competition. This experience edge could help them stay compact, absorb pressure, and threaten on the counter — making the tie closer than the home advantage alone suggests.
