Ludogorets and Inter will play at least 180 minutes of football to decide who advances from this Europa League 16th Finals battle. Get ready for the first 90 minutes!
The visiting Inter played their last game only four days ago, a Serie A match. That game was also an away game, at Lazio. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
These teams have little in common geographically as Inter have to travel 1700 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Ludogorets form and stats
Ludogorets participated in Europa League the last season, where they reached the group stage.The home supporters can't complain about results here at Ludogorets Arena as Ludogorets have scored 22 goals to get 27 points from 11 games. The overall stats in the Parva Liga are 8-3-0 (wins-draws-losses). 5W-5D-2L is the hard facts regardless of venue in the Europa League for Ludogorets. Ludogorets has a nice streak going on as they have played 26 consecutive games without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Cherno More defeat 300 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 27 games in a row here without a defeat.
The Ludogorets supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Botev Vratsa in Parva Liga and win 6-0. A 1-1 draw away in the Parva Liga before that, with Slavia Sofia the opponent.
As mentioned above, Ludogorets "killed" Botev Vratsa in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
The manager P. Vrba will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Etar in only three days.
