UEFA Champions League: It's time for the playoff second legs

The action is heating up once again across Europe. Starting this Tuesday, the decisive second legs of the UEFA Champions League playoff round will reveal their verdict and determine the final seven teams to reach the group stage.

Several must-watch clashes are on the schedule. On Tuesday, Celtic travel to Kazakhstan to face Kairat after a goalless first leg (0-0). Meanwhile, Red Star Belgrade will look to overturn a 2-1 defeat against Paphos in Cyprus, while Sturm Graz face a daunting task after their heavy 5-0 loss to Bodø/Glimt.

On Wednesday, Qarabag will defend their 3-1 advantage against Ferencvaros, while Copenhagen and FC Basel—locked at 1-1 after the first leg—will battle for their European future. But the most anticipated clash remains the showdown between Benfica and Fenerbahçe, still wide open after a 0-0 draw in the first leg. Finally, Brugge, who secured a strong 3-1 win in Scotland, are clear favorites against Rangers.
