PFC Ludogorets Razgrad and POAK will battle for three points in the UEFA Europa League group phase on Thursday at Ludogorets Arena. Ludogorets will shoot to win and improve their 6-point tally, which leaves them 25th in the standings. They are coming off a 3-2 win against Spanish side Celta Vigo. Ludogorets took a commanding 3-0 lead before giving away two second-half goals to escape with a narrow victory. They’ll be eager to make it two wins on the bounce.
POAK, on the other hand, is 17th in the standings with eight points. The Greeks started this competition slowly after failing to win their first two matches. However, they bounced back to win two of their last three games. Their latest Europa League assignment ended in a hard-fought 1-1 tie against Norwegian side, Brann. A win in Bulgaria could see them climb to one of the top 10 places, provided the results go their way.

Our Ludogorets vs PAOK Thessaloniki Prediction
This is the first competitive meeting between Ludogorets and POAK. The Greek side is the betting favorite to win and cement their spot in the playoffs. They were unfortunate to concede a stoppage-time goal against Brann to share the spoils. Their attack has been on fire lately, scoring nine goals in the last three Europa League games. They’ll look to exploit the home side’s leaking defense, which has given up 11 goals. However, Ludogorets will want to ride on the home support to win and improve their ranking. They have scored eight goals in the Europa League, making them one of the best attacking sides. We think they could force a thrilling 2-2 draw.
Our prediction for Ludogorets vs POAK: Both teams to score.
