- Competition: UEFA Europa League

- Kickoff: 17:45 UK / 18:45 CET
- Venue: Huvepharma Arena
On Thursday, Ludogorets Razgrad host Celta Vigo at the Huvepharma Arena in a high-stakes Europa League showdown. For Ludogorets, success in this match is critical if they are to salvage their continental campaign, while Celta, having shown flashes of attacking promise, will be looking to maintain their strong group position.
Ludogorets team overview
Ludogorets enter this game under pressure. Their Europa League campaign has been rocky: they have conceded more at home than they would like, and their recent form includes a 1-3 loss to Ferencváros in their latest European outing. Ludogorets currently sit outside the qualification playoff spots, having picked up just one win from four matches - a 2-1 victory over Malmö on the opening matchday of the 2025/26 Europa League campaign. Three successive defeats followed, as they lost to Real Betis, Young Boys and Ferencváros, causing them to slip down the table in drastic fashion. Domestically, they have not been at their best either, currently sitting in fourth place and 11 points behind leaders Levski Sofia.

Celta Vigo team overview
Celta come into this match with momentum. In the 2025/26 Europa League so far, they have scored nine goals in four matches and collected nine points from a possible twelve. They opened the campaign with a 2-1 defeat away to Stuttgart but responded convincingly, securing three consecutive wins against PAOK, Nice, and Dinamo Zagreb. Celta’s attacking play remains lively - their average goals-per-match across all competitions stands at 2.75, and they consistently generate high-quality chances. As things stand, they are on course for direct qualification to the Round of 16.

Prediction
Statistically, this match leans slightly in Celta Vigo’s favour. Their superior goals-for ratio in Europe, coupled with a balanced possession game and ability to control midfield, gives them an edge. Meanwhile, Ludogorets will be dangerous at home, especially if they commit men forward - but their defensive lapses make them vulnerable, as evident by their three successive defeats in the Europa League.
Given these trends, Celta Vigo should extend their run to four straight Europa League wins on Thursday.
Prediction: Celta Vigo to Win.
Three reasons we expect Celta Vigo to Win
- Celta Vigo have secured three successive Europa League wins.
- Ludogorets have lost three consecutive Europa League fixtures.
- Ludogorets have only claimed one win from a possible six in recent weeks across all competitions.
