Ludogorets Razgrad Insights.

Pavel Vrba’s Ludogorets Razgrad begin their UEFA Europa League (UEL) proper campaign with their first ever clash vs Belgian opposition, Royal Antwerp. Despite this being a game of firsts, Vrba did face Antwerp twice in last season’s UEL as Plzen’s manager, with the home side on the day winning both meetings by a single-goal margin. Ludogorets won a ninth successive Bulgarian championship last season, only losing on the final day. However, UEFA coefficients rank Bulgaria 19 places behind Belgium, and this has shown in their European performances. Ludogorets won just two of their last 19 UEL proper outings (W2, D8, L9), losing without reply in two of their last three at home (D1, L2).

Antwerp Insights.

Visiting Antwerp have hit a purple patch following a shaky start to their season. Each of their last five games (W4, D1) have been exciting affairs, seeing both teams score with over 3.5 total goals (4.4 per-match on average). Their last major European appearance was similarly exciting, resulting in a 5-2 defeat to Newcastle way back in 1994/95. Though Antwerp’s only ever away trip vs Bulgarian opposition produced a goalless affair vs Levski Sofia, they have not seen a goalless competitive away game since February 2019 at Genk (W13, D5, L11 since). Notably, 20 of those 28 games since that goalless draw saw both sides score, which includes a UEL qualifier (1-1 vs AZ).
