Ludogorets vs Qarabag Prediction & Betting Tips (13 August)

Since the takeover of the club by the wealthy billionaire Kiril Domuschiev in 2011, Ludogorets Razgrad has simply not lost the title in Bulgaria. The 13th in a row in 2023-2024 for a Bulgarian club which began its Champions League campaign in the 1st round, due to the low Bulgarian UEFA index. Firstly, PFK Razgrad dominated Dinamo Butani 3-1/0-1 in the 1st round, Dinamo Minsk 2-0/0-1 in the 2nd round, then this success in Azerbaijan against Qarabag 1-2 in the last moments on a point-blank header from Brazilian Caio Vidal 87', 1-2. The hegemony of Qarabag FK over the Azeri championship is no longer to be contested, the evening visitors got their hands on their 10th title in 11 years.

A total supremacy materialized by numerous European campaigns in which Qarabag players took part very seriously with 8 participations in the last 10 editions of the Europa League, and an LDC in 2017-18. Winner of Kapaz during the 2nd day of the championship last weekend 3-0, Qarabag therefore has 1 goal to make up to tie the scorers.

Among the Bulgarians, the Swiss international Duah (13 goals, 3 assists last year), a little revelation of the Euro, is back with his club. Started against Qarabag in the first leg, he came out during the game. Tekpetey (10 goals, 5 assists last year in the championship) plays with the Swiss on the right side in a 3-man attack. Exited at 61 minutes of play due to injury, he is uncertain for this evening. Potentially deprived of Tekpetey the Ludo attack, it will not be able to count on the presence of Caio Vidal, sent off 2 minutes after the 2-1 goal, in the 89', following an uncontrolled tackle in the opposing area on a relaunch. Qarabag FK is a very technical formation in which former Lille player Benzia (12 goals last year) and A.Zoubir (ex-Lens 8 goals) turn the heads of opposing defenses.

R.Almeida (central midfielder) scored 2 goals in 2 league matches. He is the rock at 35 years old of this Azerbaijani team. Shahrudin Mahammadaliyev (goalkeeper, Azeri international) is the main recruit of this team. He is not yet the holder of the position, however. No injuries to highlight for the visitors before this meeting.
