Ludogorets – FC Astana : Preview & Prediction
Ludogorets has been stringing together 3 consecutive victories in the Bulgarian League. An excellent run of results, after having lost in their league debut, which allows them to be in the playoff zone for the championship and to stay in the fight for the European positions.
As for the Europa League, Ludogorets only needs a win by 2 goals or more to qualify after the 2-1 first leg. Therefore, I expect a very aggressive Ludogorets from the beginning looking for that first goal to equalize the tie and give them more peace of mind in search of the final comeback.
Astana are winless in their last 2 matches in the Kazakhstan League (1 draw and 1 loss). Despite these results, they remain in the European zone and in the fight for the league championship, which would allow them to play in the next Champions League qualifiers.
As for the Europa League, any win or draw is enough for Astana to qualify, as the 2-1 first leg result gives them a certain advantage for a match in which if they are excessively defensive I think they will end up losing by more than one goal and will be eliminated.
