Ludogorets Team News

Ludogorets won the title of champion of Bulgaria for the twelfth time in a row. Although CSKA Sofia had a two-point advantage two rounds before the end, Ludogorets took advantage of the rival’s setback in the penultimate round. They ended the season as the first-placed team.

A big handicap for the team from Razgrad is the departure of the team’s best player, Igor Tiago, to Club Brugge. The team is already missing his goals, as shown by the defeat in the first match against Ballkani 2:0.

Ludogorets entered the duel with Krumovgrad with a combined team and already after 17 minutes of the game had a score deficit of two goals. The match ended with a score of 3:1 for the new Premier League team, and one gets the impression that the visiting players were thinking about the game with Ballkani.

This duel can largely determine the fate of Ludogorets this season, and we believe that they will give everything to reach the next round, where the winner of the Olimpia Ljubljana-Valmeira match will be waiting for them.

FC Ballkani Team News

FC Ballkani finished the season in first place in the Superliga with three points more than the second-placed Drita. In 36 matches, they recorded 20 wins, 13 draws, and only three losses, and they won the championship title for a reason.

After the end of the championship, the guest played only one friendly match against the Macedonian champion, Struga, which ended 2:2. Interestingly, all the goals were scored already in the first 15 minutes of the game, when the final result was set.

In the first match of the Champions League qualifiers, Ballkani played beyond all expectations and defeated Ludogorets 2:0. In a game without a lot of opportunities, the home team took advantage of the chances at the end of the first half and the beginning of the second and gained a significant advantage ahead of the second leg, which will be played on Wednesday in Razgrad.
