Team Analysis
Ludogorets: Ludogorets has been the dominant force in Bulgarian football for years, often winning titles with ease. However, their recent European outings have shown vulnerabilities, especially after their collapse against Qarabag, where they conceded four goals in extra time. The team will be looking to bounce back strongly in this match, especially in front of their home crowd.

Their approach has been defensive, often focusing on limiting opponents' scoring opportunities and relying on counter-attacks or set-pieces.
