Ludogorets and Slavia Sofía face at Ludogorets Arena, in a match for the 2nd round of A PFG. In this stadium, the history of direct confrontations is favorable to the home team, which registers 4 wins and 3 draws in the last 7 matches. However, the last time these two teams played a match at this stadium was on 25‑08‑2019, in a match for A PFG which ended in a draw by (0‑0). In this match, the home factor may be decisive, since both teams present considerable differences in the results achieved at home and as a visitor.
Ludogorets :
The home team comes to this 2nd round after a (3‑1) loss in the first league match, against Botev Vratsa. This is a stronger team with the support of its fans, since in the last 30 games it has recorded 3 wins, 7 draws and 5 losses as a visitor; against 8 victories, 2 draws and 5 defeats in his stadium. In their last 10 home games, Ludogorets have 6 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. The team allowed goals to the opponent in 8 of the last 10 matches, so their defense needs to improve, but their offense has scored regularly, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches.
It is possible to say that the biggest surprise of the first day was the defeat of Ludogorets. Because of this, the current national champions come in search of a recovery, despite knowing that the difficulty will exist. So you will have to present a safer football and you will need to be able to neutralize your rival. If you manage to do so, your chances of scoring your first three points will be greater. However, by repeating the performance of the past game you can end up complicating everything again.
Slavia Sofia :
The away team comes to this 2nd round after a draw in its league debut, against Cherno More by (1‑1). This is a team that curiously tends to achieve more positive results as a visitor than at home, since in the last 30 games they have registered 10 victories, 1 draw and 4 losses as a visitor, with 19 goals scored and 12 suffered; against 6 victories, 4 draws and 5 defeats in his stadium, with 21 goals scored and 23 suffered. In their last 10 away matches, Slavia Sofia has recorded 7 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. Their defense has not been very strong, as they have suffered goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored regularly, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 8 of their last 18 matches have ended with Under 1.5 goals and 12 out of 18 have ended with Under 2.5 goals. There is 1 period that stands out in the last 5 away matches for all competitions: they have scored 3 of their 6 goals between minutes (76′ ‑ 90 ‘).
The result in the debut of Slavia Sofia was not the best, since they did not manage to do more than draw at home. As the ideal is to recover the lost points, you will have to play hard on the field. This is said because it will face the Ludogorets fort and in its stadium, where the difficulty will be greater. Therefore, you will have to put together a game plan that allows you to present a solid defense and use counterattacks and stopped balls to surprise your opponent. By achieving everything you want, you have a better chance of scoring.
PREDICTION: Ludogorets to win @ 1,44
