Latest football prediction Ludogorets vs Athletic Bilbao

Ludogorets have had a disappointing start to their Europa League group stage campaign, picking up just one point from their opening three games.

The Bulgarians began the group stage with a 2-0 home defeat to Slavia Prague, before drawing goalless with Viktoria Plzen away in the Czech Republic in their second match.

Unfortunately for Ludogorets, they failed to pick up any points on their most recent European trip, losing 0-2 to Belgian side Anderlecht after conceding two second-half goals.

Ludogorets are currently two points adrift of the top 24 and are one of only two clubs yet to score in this season's Europa League group stage.

While still searching for their first win in the tournament, the “Blue Eagles” have had no trouble in the Bulgarian Premier League, winning 11 out of 12 games and creating a nine-point gap at the top of the table.

Ludogorets are preparing for their fourth consecutive home game in all competitions, and after winning their last three by a combined score of 12-0, they will be hoping that home advantage will help them secure a valuable victory.

In contrast to the home team, Athletic Bilbao have had an impressive start in the Europa League, winning two and drawing one of their first three games.

Aitor Paredes scored a late equaliser to hold Roma to a 1-1 draw at the Stadio Olimpico, before two second-half goals saw them beat AZ Alkmaar 2-0.

After beating AZ at San Mames, Los Leones continued their home success in matchday three as Nico Williams scored the winner in a 1-0 win over Slavia Prague.

With an unbeaten run in Europe, Ernesto Valverde's side are currently in the top eight for a place in the last 16, although they are only ahead of the bottom three on goal difference.

Athletic will be coming into Thursday's game with some regret following back-to-back La Liga draws against Mallorca and Real Betis, leaving them with just one win in their last five domestic games.

The goalless draw with Mallorca also extended Athletic's winless away run to three games in all competitions, and they are still searching for a first away win since a 2-0 win at Leganes on September 19.
