Ludogorets vs Inter Prediction & Betting tips
In the sixteenth finals of the Europa League, the Italian superpower Inter travels to Bulgaria next Thursday, where a confrontation with reigning champion Ludogorets awaits. The visitors are the big favorite for reaching the eighth finals, although they see the second most prestigious club tournament in Europe at the moment mainly as a mandatory snack.
Ludogorets:
The Bulgarian Ludogorets is only just an adult at the age of 18, but has been a loyal regular on the European football scene for some time. This is in fact already the sixth season that De Adelaars are active on a European main tournament. If they manage to stunt Inter, they will match their best performance of the 2013-2014 season, when they reached the eighth finals of the Europa League.
The advance of Ludogorets is largely due to the financial support of the wealthy chairman Kiril Domuschiev, which enables the team to put together a top selection – for Bulgarian standards. This season, the eight-time Bulgarian national champion is particularly strong for his own audience. Spartak Moscow, among others, had a 5-1 defeat in the Ludogorets Arena this season. In all competitions, only Espanyol managed to escape from Razgrad with a narrow 0-1 victory. The team of coach Pavel Vrba is well attuned to each other, with Marcelinho and Claudiu Keseru in their thirties as the main tastemakers.
Inter:
Inter this season is logically one of the top favorites for Europa League win, but the Italians currently have other priorities. For the first time in years, the Milan club has another serious chance to knock Juventus off the throne in Serie A. Trainer Antonio Conte will therefore undoubtedly rotate against Ludogorets, as the competition against Sampdoria will be much more important this coming Sunday.
So it is still a bit of coffee to see which eleven names will appear on behalf of Inter on Thursday evening, although Romelu Lukaku will almost certainly not take action. The Belgian attacker is working on a very strong debut year in the Serie A and will therefore be missed. Christian Eriksen will most likely come into action, since he has only rarely taken action since his winter arrival at Giuseppe Meazza.
