Ludogorets vs Midtjylland predictions: A low-scoring game

Key stats

  • Five of Midtjylland's six group games have gone below the 2.5-goal mark.
  • Fewer than three goals were scored in each of the last three encounters between these teams.
  • Ludogorets Razgrad have failed to score in four out of six Europa League games this season.

Correct score prediction: Ludogorets 0-1 Midtjylland

Ludogorets Razgrad are still in the hunt for their first win of the season. They have drawn three and lost three group games so far, failing to score on four occasions.

Although Midtjylland have had their fair share of struggles, they have fared better than their hosts, winning two of six group matches. Given that Midtjylland have never lost to Ludogorets, we are leaning towards the Danish side for the win.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Bookmakers favour Ludogorets

  • HOME: 13/10 (2.30) – 43.5%
  • DRAW: 11/5 (3.20) – 31.3%
  • AWAY: 21/10 (3.10) – 32.3%

*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

Although Ludogorets Razgrad have lost only once in their last 12 matches across all competitions, they are still in the hunt for their first win in the UEFA Europa League. The Bulgarian outfit have earned only three points from a possible 18, and with only two games left to play, they cannot afford to drop points.

Like their opponents, 23rd-placed Midtjylland need all the points they can get if they intend to advance to the knockout stages of this competition. Although they had a solid start to their campaign (W2, D1), Thomas Thomasberg’s troops have lost their last three Europa League matches.

On that note, Ludogorets are the expected winners at 13/10 (2.30). Teams with these odds generally have a 43.5% probability of winning.

It is also important to note that Ludogorets blanked in four out of six matches in this tournament. Keeping in mind that at least one team failed to score in four of Midtjylland's last five Europa League games, BTTS – No has an appealing look at 21/20 (2.05). That one has a 48.8% chance of landing.
