Ludogorets to seal a place in the group stages of the Europa League

    Ludogorets to seal a place in the group stages of the Europa League

    On Thursday evening, Ludogorets host Torpedo Kutaisi in the Europa League play-off round second leg.

    Ludogorets recorded a 1-0 in the first leg in Georgia and head into the second leg as favourites to book their place in the group stages of the Europa League.

    The home side has already exited the Champions League this season, so the Bulgarian outfit will be keen to make it through to the group stages of the Europa League.

    Ludogorets have a mixed recent record in the Europa League. They have won two of their last three games, but those wins are their only victories in their last eight games in the competition.

    The Bulgarian side has won just one of their last four home games in Europe’s secondary competition, with that sole victory being in the last round against Zrinjski. Their latest home games in the competition have been high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in six of their last nine home matches.

    Like Ludogorets, Torpedo Kutaisi have already been eliminated from the Champions League this season.

    The Georgian side has a poor record in the Europa League too, as they have won just three of their 15 games in the competition. The visitors have now suffered two consecutive defeats in the Europa League after the first leg defeat.

    Although their last two games have been low scoring, seven of their last nine games in the Europa League have produced over 2.5 goals.

    Torpedo Kutaisi have a poor away record in the Europa League, winning just one of their seven away games in the competition while suffering five defeats in the process. Those away games in the Europa League have been high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in five of their last seven games on their travels.

    Forebet predicts that Ludogorets will record a victory in a low scoring clash to seal their spot in the Europa League group stages.
