Ludogorets will face a stern task when they take on Athletic Bilbao at Huvepharma Arena in the Europa League on Thursday evening. The Eagles are currently down in 33rd place in the League Phase standings, while the Lions are eighth after the first three games. Check out our match prediction below.
Ludogorets will be hoping for a change of fortune in the Europa League, as they have earned only a single point via a goalless draw with Viktoria Plzen in between losses to Slavia Prague and Anderlecht.
However, they will come into this fixture with some confidence having rattled off three wins on the bounce domestically, scoring 12 goals in that period.
The Eagles are riding a four-match home winning streak and kept clean sheets in each, though their only home game in this competition ended in a 2-0 loss.
Meanwhile, Athletic Bilbao beat Slavia Prague in their last match to move to seven points (W2 D1 L0) and into the automatic qualification spots.
Since that victory, the Lions have played out back-to-back draws in La Liga, extending their current unbeaten run to four matches across all competitions.
However, the visitors are winless in their last three games on the road, though they have only lost one of their last five (W2 D2 L1), and drew their only away game in this competition 1-1 with Roma.

Our Ludogorets vs Athletic Bilbao Prediction
Ludogorets have been in fine form in the First League this season, but they’ve struggled mightily in Europe, failing to win any of their first three games to date and yet to find the back of the net.
Athletic Bilbao, in contrast, enter this contest unbeaten after their first three matches and currently holds the final automatic qualification spot. We fancy the visitors to take all three points in this one. Our Ludogorets vs Athletic Bilbao prediction: Athletic Bilbao wins!
