Prediction: 1-2
Midtjylland
Ludogorets and Midtjylland face each other at Huvepharma Arena in what is expected to be a close Europa League encounter. Ludogorets have not been in action in Bulgarian top flight since December 19, 2024, meaning that tired legs should not prove to be a big problem for the home side. Midfielder Pedro Naressi is banned for the match, while Ghana forward Bernard Tekpetey has yet to overcome his injury.
Midtjylland, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to Porto. The Danes are on a three-game losing run in the Europa League, but a win over Ludogorets should see them retain their spot in top 24. As the Bulgarians have little to play for in Thursday’s clash, we are tempted to put our money on the away team. Goalkeeper Elias Rafn Olafsson picked up an injury in the loss to Porto, with Jonas Lossi being ready to sneak into the starting XI.
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.
