Europa League: Group Stage: Ferencváros travels to Ludogorets for this exciting encounter

Ferencváros could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a NB 1 game only four sleeps ago.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1100 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

Ludogorets form and stats

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

Ludogorets are steadily winning Parva Liga games and points here at Ludogorets Arena. 7 wins, 3 draws and 0 defeats is the summary from 10 games. Ludogorets haven’t lost a game in 24 attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Cherno More, 230 days ago. The Ludogorets fans aren't used to losing here at Ludogorets Arena and will expect new points from this game. Ludogorets has played 26 games in a row here without a defeat.

The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Cherno More in the Parva Liga last time out and are looking for a win here. Before that match, a Bulgarian Cup win away at Septemvri Sofia.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Ludogorets matches with similar probabilities have ended with 0 wins, 2 draws and 0 defeats (from two games).

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Ludogorets as they are travelling to their away game against Slavia Sofia in the Parva Liga. That match is three days after this one.

A decent goal production from Ludogorets in their home games so far, with 16 goals from 10 league matches. As for guarding their own goal, Ludogorets have only let in 3 goals at home.

Ferencváros form and stats

Ferencváros was sent out of Europa League in the 1st qualifying round last season, when Maccabi Tel Aviv turned out to be too strong.

The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 5 wins, 1 draw and only 1 loss in the NB 1. In general it has been a productive period now for Ferencváros as they haven't lost any of their last twelve games. Having won their last three away games Ferencváros has no reason to fear anyone.

Ferencváros's last game was the home draw against Puskas (2-2). It was a Hungarian Cup defeat before that one as the away game against Bekescsaba wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

It looked so good for Ferencváros vs Puskas, but the job was not completed and two points were lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw.

The schedule is very tough for Ferencváros now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A NB 1 game at Diosgyor is waiting in only three days.

Ferencváros are a potent attacking force on the road with their 18 goals in 7 league games. Ferencváros have conceded 9 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

The dueling parties have met before this season: Ferencváros - Ludogorets 0-3. Last three meetings between the teams: Ludogorets won 1, Ferencváros won 2 and 0 draws. 3 games with over 2,5 goals, 0 matches with two goals or less.
