Ludogorets have traveled here for an interesting Europa League fight against HJK. Prepare for the match with this cup preview!

It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Ludogorets, who are travelling more than 2500 kilometers to play this game.

There haven't been much to rest for the team playing at home, as they had a Veikkausliiga match only four days back. This match was also played here at Bolt Arena. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Ludogorets have had more rest.

Ludogorets form and stats

Last season their Europa League adventure ended in the group stage.

Ludogorets's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Ludogorets collect 13 points from their 6 away matches in the Parva Liga. 4 victories and 1 draw have created these points (and only 1 defeat). When we have look at the Europa League statistics, we find 2W-1D-1L. This is both home and away.

Two away games in a row for Ludogorets, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-1 versus Lokomotiv Sofia 1929.

Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Arda.

A new game in only four days for Ludogorets, the Parva Liga home match versus CSKA Sofia. Busy days.

Ludogorets create on average more than 2,5 goals per away game (in the league) all by themselves, having scored 16 goals in 6 travels. It's not easy to score on Ludogorets as they have only conceded 5 goals from these away games.

The UEFA Europa League, abbreviated as UEL and commonly referred to as just the Europa League, is an annual football club competition organised by UEFA. It is the second-tier competition for football clubs in Europa, beneath the UEFA Champions League in value and importance. Teams qualify through their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. Some teams qualify from the Champions League; more precisely the teams who are knocked out in the playoff qualifying round and the third-place finishers of the group stage. The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the Champions League in their next competitive season.
