Olimpija Ljubljana Team News

Olimpija convincingly defeated Rogaška at home with a 5-0 score in the second round of the Slovenian Prva Liga. The home team dominated the match in all statistical parameters and deservedly secured the victory. Saar Fadida scored a hat-trick in this game, while Mateo Karamatic and Rui Pedro each found the back of the net once for the away team.

After two rounds played in the top Slovenian competition, Olimpija has recorded one win and one loss. In the first round of the UEFA Champions League qualifiers, they defeated Valmiera with an aggregate score of 4-2, while in the preparation period, they achieved five wins and suffered one loss.

Olimpija’s five-goal thrashing of Rogaška may have seemed like a perfect afternoon at first glance, but striker Raul Florucz had to be substituted after just 17 minutes of play, and he might now be forced to miss the second match.

However, his replacement Saar Fadida proved to be a capable substitute with a fantastic hat-trick, and the Israeli attacker will likely be a direct replacement for Florucz on the wing, while Rui Pedro is also ready to return to the attack.

Defenders Ahmet Muhamedbegovic and David Sualehe could also return to the starting lineup after a well-deserved rest over the weekend, but Agustin Doffo is walking a tightrope, as he has already received two yellow cards in this year’s UEFA Champions League competition.

Ludogorets Team News

In the top Bulgarian competition, Ludogorets convincingly defeated Etar with a 5-0 score at home in the last round. They were the dominant side in every aspect, and the home team deservedly secured the victory. Bernard Tekpetey scored two goals in this match, while Aslak Fonn Witry, Dominik Yankov, and Franco Russo each contributed with one goal.

In the first round of the Parva Liga, they suffered a 3-1 defeat against Krumovgrad, but in the first round of the UEFA Champions League qualifiers, they triumphed over Balkani with an aggregate score of 4-2. Before that, they played three friendly matches and achieved victories in all of them.

Ludogorets also has a fresh injury concern in the attack, as Kwadwo Duah, who joined from Nurnberg this summer, was on the field for only seven minutes in the first match before picking up an ankle injury. Local reports claim that Duah will not be fit to lead the attack this week, so Matias Tissera will likely be selected as the central striker under Petev’s leadership, with the support of long-serving winger Kiril Despodov.

With captain Anton Nedyalkov recovering from an operation, Despodov is expected to wear the captain’s armband for Ludogorets, while another left-back, Denny Gropper, is recovering from a cruciate ligament injury, ensuring a start for Marcel Heister.

In this match, according to the bookmakers, Ludogorets is considered a slight favorite. However, Olimpija Ljubljana has the advantage of playing at home and a favorable result from the first leg.
