On the “Hlídarendi” in Reykjavik, Icelanders from Valur will receive a visit from Bulgaria’s Ludogorets Razgrad Thursday in a match for the first runner of the Preliminary II round of the Europa League.
The two bands have reached the second European Inter-club competition after they have eliminated in the Champions League first round.
Both Icelanders and Bulgarians left the Champions League after losing both Maribor and Ferencvaros with 2-0 and 3-0 respectively 2-1 and 3-2.
After eliminating the Champions League, Ludogorets has restored his morale in the domestic game, and he has a good start to the championship with two victories as much as possible. On the other side, Valur is in a modest place 7 after 13 rounds of this season’s competitive season of the first league in Iceland with 17 points, with 13 less than the leader KR Reykjavík.
Probable teams Valur– Ludogorets:
Valur: Halldórsson – Sevarsson, Ómarsson, Sigurbjörnsson, Jonsson – Ingvarsson, K. Sigurdsson, H. Sigurdsson – Bartalsstö, Pedersen, Adolphsson
Coach: Ólafur Jóhannesson
Ludogorets: Renan – Ikoko, Terziev, Cicinho, Nedyalkov – Góralski, Dyakov – Intima, Badji, Tibet – Świerczok
Coach: Stoycho Stoev
After leaving the Champions League, it is as though Ludogorets has had good progress in the European League, a race in which the Bulgarians have set themselves up in the spring of Europe. It is clear that in the duel with the Icelanders, Ludogorets is a great favorite in qualifying and they are all preconditions to take a huge step towards the third round in the Reykjavik duel.
PREDICTION: Ludogorets to win @ 1,58
