25th-placed Ludogorets round off their 2025–26 Europa League league-phase campaign hosting 33rd-placed Nice on Thursday. Can the Eagles strengthen their bid to advance to the knockout round of the competition with a win against Nice? Here is our prediction.
Mohammed Diomande's 33rd-minute goal proved decisive as Ludogorets fell 1–0 to Rangers in their final Europa League fixture last week. That result forced the Bulgarian champions out of the playoff places to 25th with seven points – just one point adrift of Celtic at 24th.
Prior to the defeat against Rangers, Per-Mathias Høgmo's side were unbeaten in eight consecutive competitive matches (W6, D2) in all competitions. They are also unbeaten in their last four home matches, including their last two UEL home fixtures (W1, D1).
Nice finally brought their winless run in the 2025–26 Europa League league-phase to an end last week, defeating GA Eagles 3–1. That result came late for the French side as they had already been eliminated from the competition after going winless in their first six matches.
Claude Puel's side thrashed Nantes 4–1 away in the French top flight on Sunday, but are on the back foot heading into Thursday's clash. They have lost six of their seven UEL league-phase matches this season, including six of their last eight away matches in all competitions.
