Ludogorets vs Slavia Prague Match Analysis & Prediction
25/09/2024 10:00 pm
Looking to kick off their league phase campaigns with maximum points, Ludogorets Razgrad and Slavia Prague will meet at Huvepharma Arena in the Europa League on Wednesday night.
After falling out of the qualification stages for the revamped Champions League in the summer, Ludogorets ensured that they would feature in the Europa League this season, beating Petrocub 6-1 over two legs during a playoff tie.
Since a 2-1 victory in Moldova on August 29 in the second leg, Ludogorets have enjoyed a four-game unbeaten run in the Bulgarian Professional League, collecting 10 points from four top-flight matches, meaning that they are in good form ahead of Wednesday night.
Ludogorets managed to extend their unbeaten domestic run at the beginning of this season to seven matches on Saturday, when goals either side of halftime from Spas Delev and Rwan Cruz secured a 2-0 victory over strugglers Lokomotiv Sofia.
Finishing second in the Czech first division in 2023-24 – behind champions Sparta Prague – Slavia Prague were handed the chance to progress into the Champions League group stage through the playoffs, although they were unable to overcome Lille.
As a result, they are competing for their first-ever continental honour in the Europa League this season, facing tough tests against the likes of Ajax, Eintracht Frankfurt, Fenerbahce and Athletic Bilbao before the welcoming of the New Year.
Following their exit from the Champions League, Slavia Prague have put together a run of three straight wins domestically, scoring on seven occasions across the three games without conceding.
The latest of those wins came on Saturday, when the Red and Whites laid down a serious marker in their quest for Czech supremacy, with goals from Jan Boril, Tomas Chory and Lukas Provod securing a 3-0 victory over title challengers Viktoria Plzen at Fortuna Arena.

Ludogorets Team News
Forced off with an injury in the 68th minute during the weekend win over Lokomotiv Sofia, Ludogorets goalscorer Delev is a doubt for Wednesday’s contest.
Both right-back Aslak Fonn Witry and right-winger Caio were hooked at halftime at the weekend, meaning that their places in Wednesday’s XI are not secure.

Slavia Prague Team News
A hero for Slovakia at Euro 2024, Slavia Prague’s Ivan Schranz is a doubt for this continental contest due to a troubling muscle injury sustained earlier this month.
The visitors are also lacking in the goalkeeping department, with Czech Republic international Jindrich Stanek suffering a shoulder injury over the summer.
