Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
Following a 2-2 draw with Botev Plovdiv, Ludogorets will look to return to winning ways when they face Trnava in their Conference League opener. The Bulgarian champions were struggling in the qualifiers for both Champions League and Europa League, but they are surely competitive at this level. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the visit of Trnava.
The Slovaks, on the other hand, recorded a thrilling 4-3 win over Michalovce in their last league fixture and seeing that they are likely to adopt yet another attack-oriented strategy against Ludogorets, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be experienced striker Michal Duris, who found the net against Michalovce, while providing two assists for his teammates. This will be the first meeting between the two sides in European competitions.
Highlighted Team (Ludogorets):
Bulgarian football club PFC Ludogorets Razgrad, commonly referred to as Eagles, compete at the Ludogorets Arena with the capacity of 8,000. PFC Ludogorets Razgrad are owned by Kiril Domuschiev, who made it his personal goal to propel the club to domestic and international success and to hold up the Bulgarian flag high with nation’s biggest clubs Levski and CSKA going through turbulent times.
Having seen their stock rise astronomically since 2010, PFK Ludogorets Razgrad have become the first Bulgarian club to be features in the UEFA Champions League group stage twice. Previously, their maiden participation happened in 2014-15 season when the Bulgarian club made headlines due to notable results against FC Basel and Liverpool.
Their success on domestic scene has been equally impressive as PFC Ludogorets Razgrad remain the second team in the world to win a treble after being promoted from the second to the first league. Main force of the Bulgarian club are the Brazilian players, currently eight of them in the squad many of whom hold the Bulgarian citizenship.
