Krumovgrad Team News
Krumovgrad finished the previous season of the second Bulgarian league in third place with 60 points. Given that the first-placed team of the league, CSKA 1948 II Sofia, is managed as a “B team” of CSKA 1948, which plays in the Parva League, and according to the rules, cannot be placed in a higher rank, instead of the first and second, the promotion was secured by the second and the third team in the table (Etar and Krumovgrad).
Krumovgrad does not plan to stay in the most elite Bulgarian league for just one season, which we can notice from the transfers of this team. The most notable reinforcements, for now, are Croatian defender Matej Simic, who played for Spanish Numancia last season, and Brazilian forward Patrick, who came from Switzerland’s Schaffhausen.
The reason for optimism for this team is also the results of the friendly matches before the start of the season, in which they did not record a single defeat. They defeated the Bulgarian Razlog 4:0, while they drew with Slavia Sofia and Romanian Poli Iasi.
Ludogorets Team News
Last season, Ludogorets won the championship of Bulgaria for the twelfth time in a row. Although two rounds before the end, it seemed that CSKA Sofia would end this streak of the team from Razgrad, Ludogorets took advantage of the rival’s setbacks and finished the season as the first-placed team.
The team’s best player Igor Tiago moved to Club Brugge, and Ludogorets still did not find an adequate replacement for him, which was also seen in the first match of the Champions League qualifiers when they were surprisingly defeated by FC Ballkani in Pristina with 2:0. With this defeat, they made it drastically more difficult for themselves to qualify for the next round, and on Wednesday in the rematch, Ludogorets will have to play offensively from the first minute if they want to nullify the rival’s advantage.
The duel with Krumovgrad on Friday can mean a lot on the psychological level of Ludogorets, and we believe that with a convincing victory in that match, they would welcome the game with Ballkani with a lot more confidence.

Krumovgrad vs Ludogorets Prediction
Although Krumovgrad is undefeated in the preparatory period, the quality of Ludogorets compared to Krumovgrad’s rivals in those matches is incomparable. All parameters are on the guests’ side, and we believe that Ludogorets will start the season with a convincing victory, which they badly need before the second leg of the first round of Champions League qualification.
