Ludogorets - Bayer Leverkusen Prediction, Picks and Tips
I see much value in the 2.30 odds offered by the victory of Bayer Leverkusen in his visit to the Ludogorets Arena in Razgrad for this first match of the group A of the Europa League. That high quota makes it very tempting to try your luck with the Leverkusen reinforced with the "Draw does not count" wild card. If you see the last matches of both teams you will see that the victories of the locals and the defeats of the visitors abound but you have to contextualize it. The Ludogorets plays the Bulgarian league, which does not stand out for its high level, while receiving a traditionally large team from the German Bundesliga.
The Ludogorets marched 3rd in their domestic league in the 8th round to 2 points of the head but was already surprised in his fief on the 3rd day by the Lok. Plovdiv (0-1), who marches 5th in the Bulgarian League Parva. He has played prior to get into the group stage of the Europa League after not being able to get through that path in the Champions. In those encounters, the Crusaders of the Northern Ireland won 7-0 and then did not go on to a 0-0 draw against the Hungarian Mol Vidi (the old Videoton), which sent him to the Europa League preview. Already in this competition came this far after winning 1-0 to the Bosnian Zrinkski and to overcome 4-0 to the Georgian Torpedo Kutaisi. Therefore, this is by far the most demanding game for the greens since last season.
For its part, Leverkusen closes the Bundesliga classification with another big historic as Schalke 04 after both have chained three defeats in the first three days. In them, Leverkusen was surprised at home (1-3) against Wolfsburg, which is being the revelation in these first days (7 of 9 possible points), and lost at home to Mönchengladbach (2-0) and against the almighty Bayern Munich (3-1) after having advanced on the scoreboard. It is still early to turn on the alarms. We saw last year how the Cologne (which started the Bundesliga fatally and ended up going down) was able to alternate the situation with a meritorious performance in some phases of the Europa League. For the difference in level and because it is still too early to consider throwing the European competition to focus on the Bundesliga, I see much value to the Teutonic victory.
