Arda have played 11 Parva Liga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-3-4 (wins-draws-losses).

Arda drew their last game, 1-1 away at Etar (placed 10th). Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Botev Vratsa (1-3).

Svetoslav Kovachev was able to secure the draw 1-1 in the game against Etar after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?

Ludogorets form and stats

Ludogorets, who have the the best goal difference (+32) in Parva Liga, have an excellent away record in the Parva Liga so far with 7-4-0 from 11 games. It's three draws from Ludogorets's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.

Ludogorets are travelling after their nice 5-1 home win in the Parva Liga against Dunav 2010 (placed 13th). Before that, Ludogorets travelled to Levski Sofia (after extra-time, 6-5 on penalties) and returned home with a draw after the Bulgarian Cup game finished 0-0.

As you can tell from the results above, Ludogorets was very dominant against Dunav 2010, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 5-1 (!) with Claudiu Keșerü (2), Marcelinho, Jorginho and Mavis Tchibota providing the goals.

Ludogorets are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 15 away goals from 11 games (in the league). They concede less than a goal on average per away game (6 so far).

Head 2 Head

Ludogorets - Arda 2-0 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season.
