Ludogorets vs Ath Bilbao Prediction & Betting Tips (7 November)

Although it has been very often present on the European scene for many years, Ludogorets has not managed to do well in this Europa League for the moment. Indeed, after 3 contested days so far, the Bulgarians have only taken a small point thanks to their draw against Viktoria Plzen 0-0 during the 2nd day. Otherwise, they had to lose to Slavia Prague 0-2 and Anderlecht 2-0 15 days ago and they are in 33rd place in the standings. In the championship, however, the team based in Razgrad is at the top of the rankings, already well ahead of the competition. On Sunday, they will aim for an 8th success in a row in the league against Hebar 1918.

Bilbao, for their part, negotiated their first matches in the competition much better. If it had to share the points with Roma 1-1 when it entered the competition, Athletic Club was then able to get the better of AZ Alkmaar 2-0 and Slavia Prague 1-0 which gave it allows you to rank 8th in the ranking of this tournament and to be virtually qualified directly for the 1/8th finals. In La Liga, the Lions are on the verge of the top 4 in the ranking which they could enter by beating Betis Sevilla next weekend. 

Once again, Tekpetey and Tissera will not be present, they who are injured for a long time and who were not registered to compete in this competition. To this we add that the usual replacement Nedyalkov and the managerial midfielders Nedelev and Piotrowski also risk having to throw in the towel. Potential starting defender Yordanov should return but winger Caio Vidal will be suspended after being sent off on the final day. Offensively, Ludogorets often relies on its Brazilians Seco (4 goals) and Rick (3 goals, 3 assists) or the Spanish midfielder Son (2 pawns, 1 assist). No player has yet scored in this Europa League.

On the Bilbao side, Spanish international goalkeeper Unai Simon continues his convalescence. Otherwise, everyone should be available for this poster starting with the formidable attackers such as Nico Williams (1 goal, 1 assist in the league), Berenguer (1 goal, 4 assists in La Liga), Guruzeta (2 goals, 2 assists ) or Inaki Williams (3 goals, 4 assists). Absent on the last day, the very promising Oihan Sancet (4 goals in the championship) will also be there.
