Ludogorets Razgrad and Celta Vigo have had opposite results so far. The hosts have only one win and three defeats, while the Spanish side have a positive 3:1 record. Therefore, Celta Vigo are the favourites for this match.
Ludogorets Razgrad
Because of these results, Ludogorets Razgrad are 30th in the league phase standings of the Europa League. Last season was no better: after failing to win a single match, they finished only 33rd. The only team they have beaten in these 12 matches were Malmö (2:1), and that came away from home. The Swedish club are weak and on the same level as the hosts, both last season and this one.
Celta Vigo
Celta Vigo have not played in the Europa League or any European competition since the 2016/17 season, but the strength of the league they come from matters. This is virtually a different team now, and they are in fourth place. Only Stuttgart have managed to beat them (2:1 in Germany), and a year ago Stuttgart were still competing in the Champions League against Real Madrid and Juventus. Celta Vigo are also doing well in La Liga. Over the last four league rounds they have won three matches, all of them away from home. This is a huge step forward after going winless in their first nine rounds.
Ludogorets Razgrad vs Celta Vigo Prediction
So the bookmakers’ view is justified. Celta Vigo should win, especially as they have already recorded a 3:0 away victory against Dinamo Zagreb.
