Ludogorets form and stats

Ludogorets have only played one Parva Liga game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 15 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat from 16 matches.

The regulars hope that Ludogorets will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away defeat in the Champions League fixture against Shamrock Rovers.

2-2 away at CSKA 1948 Sofia before that.

It would be a shock if the hosts fail to win this game. Let's see how Ludogorets have performed as huge favourites like they are today: 5 games found in the database showing 5 Ludogorets wins, 0 draws and 0 defeats.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Ludogorets as they have a new game in only three days, a Champions League match thankfully also at home. Dinamo Zagreb are visiting.

At Huvepharma Arena, Ludogorets has the goal stats of 2-0 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.

Spartak Varna form and stats

Spartak Varna have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Parva Liga were 8 victories, 4 draws and 6 defeats from 18 fixtures.

Spartak Varna's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus OFK Pirin that finished 1-1. As mentioned above, Spartak drew the match against OFK Pirin. Manager Petrov brought on Babaliev to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.

Prior to that match, the Spartak Varna manager Petrov faced defeat when travelling to Levski Sofia and losing 0-5.

The visitors come into this game as huge outsiders. This role is not totally unknown to them, as they have played 21 away matches before with similar winning odds. These games have ended with 11 wins, 6 draws and 4 defeats. 1 game were lost by at least two goals margin.

It's early days yet, but Spartak Varna has scored 0 and conceded 5 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
