Just one match separates all these teams from the group stage, the final stage of the 2022/23 Champions League Playoffs After the first legs have been played, some teams are already on course to make their appearance in the world’s premier club competition, but no one will take anything for granted until the final whistle blows.
Just as JefeBet gave you predictions for the first leg clashes, it will also be the case for the second leg clashes that will take place between August 23 and 24, 2022. Here’s a brief summary of each one of them.
Predictions and betting preview for the second leg of the 2022/23 Champions League Playoffs, running from August 23 to 24
Benfica vs. Dynamo Kyiv
Benfica had a successful visit in the first leg of this series and came away with a 0-2 win despite not being far superior to Dynamo Kyiv.
Now back in Lisbon, the Portuguese club could use the momentum of playing at home to maintain the advantage on aggregate, and we believe they could come back to win against a Ukrainian side that has not been very convincing in this qualifying phase.
Prediction: Benfica Asian Handicap (-1)

Red Star vs. Maccabi Haifa
Red Star and Maccabi Haifa put on a goal-filled show in the first leg, which ended 3-2 in favor of the Israeli team. However, they will have the difficult task of holding on to the result in Serbia, where Red Star usually comes up big.
For this reason, we believe that the home team will be able to take the victory to turn the aggregate score around or at least force extra time.
Prediction: Red Star wins

Viktoria Plzen vs. Qarabag
Viktoria Plzen and Qarabag played out the dullest match of the day as they drew 0-0 in Azerbaijan, which means the series is anyone’s game once the two return to play in the Czech Republic.
Qarabag failed to capitalize on their advantage and we believe the home team could now be the one to prevail and book a ticket to the next stage of the UEFA Champions League.
Prediction: Plzen wins

Dinamo Zagreb vs. Bodo/Glimt
Bodo/Glimt did well at home as they have become accustomed to in recent times in continental competitions and defeated Dinamo Zagreb, albeit by a narrow 1-0 scoreline that means that nothing will be completely settled when the two teams play the second leg on Croatian soil.
With Dinamo’s last home defeat having occurred in December last year, we believe the Croatian side could have enough to reverse the aggregate score and make it through to the Champions League group stage.
Prediction: Dinamo Zagreb wins

PSV vs. Rangers
PSV and Rangers also head into the second leg tied after an entertaining game in Scotland that featured late goals.
We think another game similar to that one is quite likely, as PSV has been a goal machine this season, while Rangers is a team that does not shrink in this kind of circumstances.
Prediction: Over 2.75 goals

Trabzonspor vs. Copenhagen
Trabzonspor’s visit to Denmark didn’t go as expected, and they were defeated 2-1 by a Copenhagen side with several absentees in their starting eleven.
However, it is now up to them to capitalize on their home advantage in Turkey, a venue that could prove hostile for visitors and where we believe they will concede to a Trabzonspor side that will ultimately win the match.
Prediction: Trabszonspor wins
