Shakhtyor Soligorsk will host Maribor in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League first-round qualifier at New Sakarya Ataturk Stadium on Wednesday night. The first leg at Ljudski Vrt last week ended in a goalless draw and the tie is very much in the balance. The winners of this match will play either Sheriff Tiraspol or Zrinjski in the second round. The hosts have previously fallen to Siroki Brijeg and Ludogorets at the first hurdle in 2006-07 and 2021-22, so reaching the second round would be a historical achievement for the Belarusian outfit.
