Roma have traveled here for an interesting Europa League fight against Ludogorets. Prepare for the match with this cup preview!
Roma have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Ludogorets and Roma.
Ludogorets form and stats
Last season their Europa League adventure ended in the group stage.Perfect Parva Liga season at home so far for Ludogorets 3 wins from 3 appearances.
Ludogorets's last game was hosting Hebar 1918 and winning 6-0. As mentioned above, Ludogorets "killed" Hebar 1918 in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency. Despodov has beaten the opponent goalkeeper in three matches in a row. Skilful!
A 2-2 result against Levski Sofia (after extra-time, 4-3 on penalties) before that one, played at their own home stadium in the Super Cup.
The manager Šimundža will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Botev Vratsa in only three days.
With more than three goals on average, the attacking play of Ludogorets is on fire here. A stunning 13 from 3 league matches.
Roma form and stats
They also participated in Europa League last season. This ended in the semi-finals, when Manchester United drew the shortest straw.Roma are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Serie A, having played 3 games and collected 4 points (1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss).
Roma lost away at Udinese (0-4) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Udinese was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind. Attacker Dybala got a player rating of 7.25 in the game. "Man of the match" Dybala hit five key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.
Before that, Roma secured a home win against Monza with the score 3-0.The schedule is very tough for Roma now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Serie A game at Empoli is waiting in only four days.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Roma as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. Roma have conceded 5 goals in these games.
