"Starting with the hosts, while Ludogorets might have stormed their way to a record-breaking 14th domestic crown last season, the Eagles have rather drastically struggled to find any kind of stability this time around. Despite marking their return from November's international break with a much-welcomed 2-0 win away at Septemvri Sofia, that is just the second victory that Per-Mathis Hogmo's men have recorded from any of their previous 10 appearances across all competitions."
"As for the visitors, while Celta Vigo might have entered November's international break with an action-packed 4-2 victory against reigning Spanish champions Barcelona, it appears that was just a minor blip for Los Celestes. Flying out of the traps since opening up their respective Europa League adventure back in August, Claudio Giraldez's camp could have their sights set on mounting a genuine European charge this season."
Ludogorets began the season as domestic champions but have struggled for consistency, recording just two wins in their last ten matches across all competitions. The Bulgarian side briefly recovered with a 2-0 victory after the international break, yet recent European form has been poor, including multiple Europa League defeats. Celta Vigo have shown stronger continental form, producing notable wins such as a 3-0 victory at Dinamo Zagreb and a 4-2 league result against Barcelona earlier in November. Claudio Giraldez's squad travel confident and have the opportunity to secure qualification momentum in Bulgaria.
