Latest football commentary Ludogorets vs Athletic Bilbao
Ludogorets have had a shaky start to their Europa League group stage campaign, picking up just one point from their first three games. The Bulgarians began the group stage with a 2-0 home defeat to Slavia Prague, before drawing 0-0 with Viktoria Plzen away in the Czech Republic on matchday two.
However, in their most recent away trip to Europe, Ludogorets failed to pick up any points as they lost 0-2 to Belgian side Anderlecht, conceding two goals in the second half.
The club are currently two points off the top 24 and are one of only two clubs yet to score in this season's Europa League group stage. Despite this, Ludogorets have maintained their impressive form in the Bulgarian Superliga, winning 11 of their 12 games and opening up a nine-point lead. They are preparing for their fourth successive home game in all competitions, following three impressive 12-0 aggregate wins, and will be hoping that home advantage will help them secure a crucial win.
Athletic Bilbao, on the other hand, have made an impressive start to their Europa League campaign, picking up two wins and a draw from three games. They drew 1-1 with Roma at the Stadio Olimpico thanks to a late equaliser from Aitor Paredes, before beating AZ Alkmaar 2-0 at home.
Continuing their fine form, they won 1-0 against Slavia Prague, with Nico Williams scoring the decisive goal. Thanks to this unbeaten run, Ernesto Valverde's side are now in the top eight, qualifying for the round of 16, although they are only ahead on goal difference.
However, Athletic are left with a bit of regret after back-to-back draws in La Liga against Mallorca and Real Betis, leaving them with just one win in their last five league games. The goalless draw with Mallorca also extended Athletic's winless run away from home to three games in all competitions. They are still looking for their first away win since a 2-0 win over Leganes on September 19.
