Ludogorets II form and stats

Ludogorets II have only played one Vtora Liga game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 4 wins, 5 draws and 2 defeats from 11 matches.

A good away victory last time out for Ludogorets, who won 1-0 against Dobrudzha 1919 (placed 13th). Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against FK Minyor Pernik.

This is expected to be a close game, with Ludogorets II perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Ludogorets II as a small favourite), we find one game. Ludogorets II has won zero of these, drawn zero and lost one.

Ludogorets II has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 1 goal from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.

Lovech form and stats

Lovech have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Vtora Liga were 4 victories, 3 draws and 3 defeats from 10 fixtures.

Impressive finishing from D. Bonev and R. Zhivkov (2) secured the home win 3-2 against Sozopol in their previous game. A 0-2 defeat away at Septemvri Simitli before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Lovech playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were one Lovech win, three draws and one defeat.

A quick return to home after this game, as Lovech are hosting Sportist Svoge in the Vtora Liga only four days away.

It's early days yet, but Lovech has scored 0 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last five meetings between these two teams are: zero wins for Ludogorets II, two draws and three wins for Lovech. Over 2,5 goals: one time; under 2,5 goals: four games.
