Ludogorets vs Ferencvaros

Ludogorets host Ferencvaros in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League qualifier, with both teams looking to maintain their progress.

Both sides are showing some good form at the moment and could serve up a thrilling contest here. However, the visitors made smoother progress to the third round and should do enough to avoid defeat.

Ludogorets News

Ludogorets were taken to extra-time by Rijeka before progressing to the third round of the qualifiers with a 3-1 aggregate victory. They battled to a 0-0 scoreline in the first meeting and played out a 1-1 home draw in normal time in the second leg before the Bulgarians found their rhythm.

Despite the difficulties, the results mean Ludogorets are unbeaten in their last five matches, claiming a 2-1 home victory over Dobrudzha in a domestic fixture last weekend. However, a worrying trend for manager Rui Mota is that the Bulgarians have needed extra-time to progress from the last two rounds, having picked up just one regulation-time win in four matches.

Goals have not been a problem for Ludogorets, who have scored in six of their last seven matches across all competitions. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last two matches, while two of their last three home fixtures have produced over 2.5 goals.

Ferencvaros News

Ferencvaros’ progress to the third round was smoother as they did the double over Noah for a 6-4 aggregate victory. They claimed a 2-1 away victory in the first leg and earned a 4-3 home win in the second meeting.

Both results highlight Ferencvaros’ open style of play, having scored in their last five matches, while failing to keep a clean sheet four times on this run. Four of their last five matches have also produced over 2.5 goals.

Beyond the Champions League qualifiers, Ferencvaros’ overall form has been solid and they are unbeaten in their last nine matches, picking up eight wins on this run. Robbie Keane's team will head into Wednesday's clash off the back of a 3-0 victory over Kazincbarcikai in a domestic fixture last weekend.

Head to Head

Ferencvaros have a solid record in this fixture and are unbeaten in four of their five previous matches. The visitors have picked up three wins on this run, including a 3-0 victory in a friendly back in 2022.

Verdict

Ludogorets Razgrad v Ferencvarosi TC

Ludogorets have picked up just one regulation-time win in four qualifying matches and could be in for a difficult time on Wednesday. Ferencvaros are unbeaten in their last nine matches across all competitions and could earn a win or draw here.

Both teams have quality going forward while being shaky at the back, and could be set to score here. With four of Ferencvaros’ last five matches producing over 2.5 goals, a repeat is expected in the first leg.
