Mura vs Ludogorets Prediction

There is little to choose from between the sides, although Ludogorets have more pedigree on the continent. Both teams' domestic dominance is founded on resolute defending and that is expected to be a major theme in this game.

However, the visitors' superior experience in continental football should see them through. We are predicting a narrow victory for Ludogorets in addition to a clean sheet.

Prediction: Mura 0-1 Ludogorets
