Ludogorets vs Spartak Trnava Prediction

Ludogorets play host to Spartak Trnava in the first round of the 2023/24 UEFA Conference League group phase on Thursday evening at Huvepharma Arena in Razgrad.

The hosts enter the tie as pretty big favorites (1.50 odds) but it is quite hard to find the value there knowing about their shaky form at the beginning of the season.

The Bulgarian champions won just four of seven domestic league outings and are as many as 12 points behind leaders Lokomotiv Plovdiv in the standings (with two games in hand).

They did not impress in the qualifying campaigns for continental competitions either, suffering eliminations to the likes of Olimpija Ljubljana and Ajax in the UEFA Champions League and Europa League respectively.

The team led by Ivaylo Petev revealed their defensive holes once again last weekend, playing only a 2-2 stalemate to Botev Plovdiv in the previous round of Bulgarian First League.

Spartak Trnava sit in the bottom half of their domestic league table with just two wins in six outings but they have at least shown quite decent form in Europe this summer.

Michal Gasparik’s troops reached the group stage of Conference League by eliminating Auda, Lech Poznan, and Dnipro-1, showing strong attacking form in the process.

The visitors will also enter this on the back of a 3-4 road win over Zemplin Michalovce in the weekend’s Slovakian Super League action.

Latest Meetings

Ludogorets and Spartak Trnava have not had a chance to meet each other in the past.

The Verdict

Both teams to score will be our main betting option here and you can back it at the odds of 1.72. Ludogorets have been vulnerable at the back of late while Spartak Trnava play attacking-minded football under Gasparik.

We will alternatively shoot for the 2.50 odds offered for the visitors to leave Bulgaria unbeaten. Ludogorets have won just two of the last five games across competitions while Spartak Trnava lost only one of their previous eight affairs.
