Ludogorets vs Qarabag Prediction: the Hosts Will Keep the Advantage

Prediction for the UEFA Champions League match between Ludogorets vs Qarabag, which will take place on August 13th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Bulgarian team has already reached the Champions League group stage. Can Ludogorets do it again? It'll be tough. They have made it through two rounds, alternating between beating Dinamo Batumi (3:1 at home, 0:1 away) and Dinamo Minsk (2:0 at home, 0:1 on a neutral pitch). Qarabag also almost made it through after winning away. However, in the final qualifying round, Ludogorets will face Dinamo Zagreb, a strong team. It's also worth mentioning that Ludogorets had a solid start to the new Bulgarian championship despite losing 5:1 at home to Arda.

The Azerbaijani club is dominant in the country's football scene and regularly competes in European cups. Qarabag entered the Champions League group stage last season and even reached the Europa League quarterfinals, where they lost to the eventual tournament runner-up, Bayer Leverkusen. So far this season, Qarabag has only made it through one round. They defeated the Gibraltar club Lincoln Red Imps 2:0 away and 5:0 at home. The visitors got off to a strong start in the Azerbaijan championship, winning two games: 4:1 over Araz and 3:0 over Kapaz.

Ludogorets should be happy with a draw at home. So, it's unlikely that the Bulgarians will push things too hard. They might even give Qarabag the ball and wait for their chance on the counterattack. Ludogorets will make the most of the free zones, but the Azerbaijanis will score. Qarabag is too experienced to give up without a fight. We're betting on an exchange of goals and a draw.
