The starting lineup for each team in their last match in this tournament is listed.

Ludogorets

In the last round, the team drew 2-2 with AZ Alkmaar. The club has yet to secure a victory in the Europa League group stage (3 draws, 3 losses). Ludogorets is currently in 32nd place in the standings with 3 points. A defeat in the upcoming game would eliminate Igor Jovicevic's side from advancing to the Europa League playoffs.

Key midfielder Pedro Naressi will miss the game due to suspension.

• The team has conceded at least twice in regular time in 4 of their last 5 home matches in this tournament.
• At least three goals have been scored in 90 minutes in 5 of Ludogorets' last 6 home Europa League matches.
• A goal was scored in the first half in the club's last 6 home games in this European competition.

Midtjylland

In the last round, the club suffered a 0-2 defeat to Porto. This result extended their losing streak to three matches in the Europa League. Previous losses have dropped the club to 23rd place in the standings, with Braga in 25th trailing only by goal difference. Midtjylland still has a chance to advance to the Europa League Round of 32, but a fourth consecutive defeat could end this possibility.

• The club has not scored more than one goal in 90 minutes in 9 of their last 11 away matches in this European competition.
• The number "0" appeared in the scoreline at the end of regular time in 4 of Midtjylland's last 5 Europa League matches.
• A goal was scored in the first half in 6 of the team's last 7 away games in this tournament.

Ludogorets vs. Midtjylland: Match Prediction

Ludogorets' matches in the Europa League group stage have not been high-scoring: the club's games average just 1.8 goals per match. This low figure is largely due to the team's creative issues – the Bulgarians have scored only 3 goals in 6 matches at this stage. Midtjylland's matches in this European competition have also been low-scoring: opponents have scored no more than twice in 5 of the team's last 6 Europa League outings.

It's worth noting that the clubs have met three times in European competitions, and in all cases, neither side scored more than twice. I expect the upcoming match to be no different. My prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
