Espanyol Ludogorets betting prediction

The home team is currently in the 1^st position, with 7 points won, after 2 wins and 1 draw. In the penultimate round, they have won an away match against CSKA Moskva by (0‑2). In the last round, they have won an away match against Ludogorets by (0‑1). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 9 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses in away matches, with 28 goals scored and 13 conceded; against 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 22 goals scored and 18 conceded. In their last match, for the Primera División, they got a home loss against Valencia by (1‑2). In the last 4 UEFA Europa League home matches Espanyol has a record of 3 wins and 1 draw.

They haven’t lost any of the last 9 matches for this competition. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 9 matches for this competition. They have been able to score first and have done so in 7 of the last 9 matches for the UEFA Europa League, they have reached half‑time in advantage in 5 of those 7 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 6 of them.

Espanyol is here to surprise and the least what they expect is to pass the phase, but of course they want something more. The team comes to fight for the first place in the group and from now on they want to have consistency, because later on this could make a difference. Playing against someone who also wants a good result makes things a little complicated, but they are aware that their squad is skilled enough to seek a win. Therefore, we should see a team searching for the game and doing their best to stay ahead of the scoring as quickly as possible. In this match the best players available will be on the field.

Confirmed Lineup: Diego López, Lluís López, Fernando Calero, Dídac Vila, Bernardo Espinosa, Sébastien Corchia, Pol Lozano, Granero, Matías Vargas, Melendo, Víctor Campuzano.
