Viktoria Plzen will look to post their first win of the 2024-25 Europa League campaign when they take on Ludogorets on matchday two. This match at the Doosan Arena on Thursday is likely to be a high-scoring game, and our prediction is for over 2.5 goals to be scored.
The hosts started their campaign with a 3-3 draw in the first match of the competition, where they needed two goals beyond the 85th minute to earn a point against Eintracht Frankfurt. They followed it up with a 1-1 draw in the domestic league, extending their impressive recent run. They have won seven, drawn three, and lost just one of their last 11 matches.
Even in the Europa League, they have won four and drawn one of their last five matches, giving them momentum. Ludogorets lost 2-0 to Slavia Prague in the first match, with a goal in each half. That remains their only loss across the last ten matches, winning eight and drawing one during the sequence. The defeat against Slavia ended a three-game winning run for the visitors in the Europa League competition.
That said, the Bulgarians have struggled away from home in this competition. They lost eight and drew three of their last 13 away Europa League matches, winning only two, although those two wins have come in their most recent visits.
