Prediction: 2-2
Ludogorets
Buoyed by a hard-fought 1-0 win over AEK Larnaca, Zurich play host to Ludogorets at their Stadion Letzigrund in their second group game in the 2018/2019 Europa League season. Zurich aim to move one step closer to booking their place in the knockout stages, but beating Ludogorets is easier said than done as the visitors are desperate to grab something from Thursday’s football match. The Bulgarian champions aim to bounce back from a 3-2 loss to Bayer Leverkusen and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Zurich. Anyhow, the two teams seem to be evenly matched at the moment and we predict that they are going to share the spoils at Stadion Letzigrund. The two teams meet for the first time ever in European competitions and we believe that they are going to play out a high-scoring draw on Thursday evening.
