Ludogorets vs FC Astana Prediction & Tips
Ludogorets and Astana meet in the second leg of the UEFA Europa League (3rd Qualifying Round), after Astana won 2-1 at home in the first leg.
In their last match in the A PFG, they beat CSKA Sofia at home (3-0). In their last 10 home games, Ludogorets have won 7, drawn 2 and lost 1. Their attack has scored regularly and they have managed to score in 9 of their last 10 games. In their last 5 home games in all competitions, there’s 1 period that stands out: they’ve scored 5 of their 13 goals between the hour mark (46′-60′).
Ludogorets need to turn around the result they suffered in the first leg. We expect the team to take the initiative and put pressure on their opponents from the opening minutes in an attempt to score an early goal. The coach should field a very competitive team.
In their last 10 away games in all competitions, Astana have won 4, drawn 3 and lost 3. They have allowed their opponents to score in 8 of their last 10 games, so there are defensive processes that need to be improved. In 15 games, they have managed to turn the result around in 2 of the 6 games in which they conceded the first goal.
Astana know that with a draw they can progress, so they must be very strong in this match. We expect the team to play carefully and try not to make defensive mistakes. The coach shouldn’t have any major absentees for this game.
