Struggling Montana will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Ludogorets in the upcoming league round. It’s 11th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Montana form and stats
Montana have collected 10 points from their Parva Liga home games so far after 3-1-1. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Montana after consecutive victories at their own ground.
Heartbreak before that as Montana lost 0-3 at Cherno More's place.
Montana have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Stadion Ogosta with 9 goals in 5 league matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Montana defense is not exactly impregnable. 9 goals conceded from 5 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Ludogorets form and stats
The visitors, who have the the best goal difference (+3) away in Parva Liga, are W2-D1-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Parva Liga.
Ludogorets might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Antwerp proved too strong as Ludogorets slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Ludogorets Arena. Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Tsarsko selo in the Parva Liga.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Ludogorets manager P. Vrba as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against LASK Linz.
With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Ludogorets are regular goalscorers on their travels. Ludogorets's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 6 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: zero - one - nine (Montana wins - draws - Ludogorets wins). As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.Top Goalscorers
