-----------------------------
Ludogorets Razgrad
Ludogorets, coached by Georgi Dermendzhiev, enters the third qualifying round as Bulgarian champions, unbeaten in seven competitive matches this season (5 wins, 2 draws). They advanced past Dinamo Minsk 3-2 on aggregate (2-0, 1-2, extra time) in the first round and HNK Rijeka 3-1 on aggregate (1-1, 3-1, extra time) in the second round, with goals from Jakub Piotrowski (penalty), Ivaylo Chochev, and Stanislav Ivanov, averaging 1.5 goals scored and 0.75 goals conceded in four qualifiers. Key players include Piotrowski (1 goal), Chochev (2 goals), and Erick Marcus, with a probable 4-3-3 lineup: Bonmann; Nedyalkov, Verdon, Kurtulus, Son; Pedrinho, Piotrowski, Vidal; Tekpetey, Stanic, Marcus. Ludogorets’ strengths are their home dominance at Huvepharma Arena (sold out, 10,422 capacity) and clinical finishing, but Aguibou Camara’s injury (since first round) and extra-time battles raise fitness concerns. They aim for their first Champions League group stage since 2016-17, with a UEFA Europa League league phase spot guaranteed if they lose.
Ferencvárosi TC
Ferencvárosi TC, led by Dejan Stanković, is unbeaten in four matches this season (3 wins, 1 draw), including a 6-4 aggregate win over FC Noah in the second round (2-1 away, 4-3 home), with goals from Aleksandar Pešić, Lomalisa Joseph, Zachariassen, and Barnabás Varga. They’ve averaged 2.5 goals scored and 1.5 goals conceded in their two Champions League qualifiers. Key players include Pešić (2 goals), Varga (1 goal), and Ido Shahar, but Pešić is doubtful after a 64th-minute substitution against Noah. A probable 4-2-3-1 lineup: Dibusz; Botka, Cissé, Szalai, Civic; Rommens, Maiga; Varga, Zachariassen, Traoré; Keita. Ferencvaros’ strengths are their attacking firepower (7 goals in last 2 games) and European experience, but defensive lapses (3 goals conceded vs. Noah) are a concern. They target their first Champions League group stage since 2020-21.
Head-to-Head
Ludogorets and Ferencváros have met four times competitively in 2019, with Ferencváros winning both 2019-20 Champions League qualifiers (2-1, 3-2) and Ludogorets earning a 3-0 win and a 1-1 draw in the Europa League group stage. Ferencváros lead the H2H with 2 wins, 1 loss, and 1 draw, averaging 3.0 goals per match, with 75% over 2.5 goals and 75% both teams scoring (BTTS).
Predicted Score: Ludogorets Razgrad 2-1 Ferencvárosi TC
This first-leg clash on August 6, 2025, at Huvepharma Arena, Razgrad, at 7:30 PM CEST (1:30 PM EDT), is a sell-out, broadcast on Diema Sport and streamed on UEFA.tv and Sofascore, with referee Espen Eskås (Norway) officiating. Ludogorets’ Piotrowski and Chochev face Ferencváros’ Varga and Keita, with Ludogorets’ home strength (unbeaten in 7) tested by Ferencváros’ attack (7 goals in 2 qualifiers). Ludogorets are slight favorites (+145 odds) over Ferencváros (+195), with a draw at +220. Trends (Ludogorets: 50% over 2.5 goals; Ferencváros: 100%) and H2H suggest goals, with betting tips favoring BTTS (-167 odds) and over 2.5 goals (+105). The 20°C evening may see cards if Ferencváros’ defensive issues persist. The winner faces Shkëndija or Qarabağ in the play-off round. Ludogorets is likely to score through Chochev, with Varga possibly netting for Ferencváros. Ludogorets’ home form and defensive solidity (keeper Sergio Padt in top form) should secure a narrow win, but Ferencváros’ attack keeps it close.
