One of the more interesting Conference League fixtures on Thursday will be the clash between Bulgarian champions Ludogorets and high-flying Servette. Last time out it is the Swiss team who must be disappointed with the 0-0 draw, even though they were the better team on the day.
Ludogorets Team News
A draw in the away leg is a good result for Ludogorets, who have experienced troubles with their European visits. At home, however, it is a different story. The Bulgarian champions managed to win all of their group stage games and are undefeated in their last 4 competitive home games. Yet the team is still getting up to speed, as despite winning their last game against Cherno More, it is obvious that the team lack match practice and is just getting up to speed. Additionally, all of Ludogorets’ home wins in their Conference League groups were to nill.
Servette Team News
After a hard-fought win against Lugano Servette will be coming to Huvepharma Arena in good spirits. Recent form has been more than satisfactory – only 1 loss in the last 8 competitive games. However, the first match against Ludogorets is the only game in which the Swiss team has managed to keep a clean sheet. In their Europa League group, Servette’s away games were disastrous – 2 losses and 1 draw. Within them we can see a worrying stat for the team – a total of 9 goals conceded and just one scored.
Head-to-Head-Games
There isn’t any history between these two teams. The first leg marked the first time in history, in which Servette and Ludogorets meet. In that game, the Swiss were arguably the better team, but managed to reach only a 0-0 draw.
Ludogorets – Servette Betting Prediction
Ludogorets have just restarted their competitive games and this will be their fourth so far. On the other hand, Servette has been playing regularly during the winter. However, at home, Ludogorets play their best games and they might be up for some crazy European night again. The statistics also back them as a formidable host, whilst Servette seems to experience issues on the road. A 0-0 in the first game puts the Bulgarian champions in a favourable position – the decisive game being on their home turf with a good tournament result to back it up. Here, I would pick Ludogorets to win this game in regular time and progress forward.
