“Ludogorets” wins for the first time in Switzerland. The residents of Razgrad visit the local “Servet” tonight at 10:00 p.m. in the playoff for the Conference League. The second leg in Bulgaria is in a week.
Currently, the hegemon of the so-called born elite has played 4 times against teams from the alpine country. The balance of “Ludogorets” is 0 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses with a goal difference of 1:8. “Servet” is the 3rd team from Switzerland that the residents of Razgrad will meet in the European club tournaments. Two of the losses of the 12-time champion of Bulgaria are against Basel. In 2013, in the preliminary round of the Champions League, “Ludogorets” lost 2:0 to “Basel” in Switzerland. A year later, the Bulgarian team again fell to the same opponent, but 0:4. In 2016, the two teams met again, but the meeting in the Alpine country ended 1:1. The last time Razgrad played in Switzerland was in 2018. In the Europa League groups, they lost 0:1 to “Zurich” during their visit.
At the same time, Georgi Dermendzhiev’s team is very close to attracting the top scorer of the previous championship, Ivaylo Chochev. “Ludogorets” and CSKA 1948 are in the final stage for the player to move from Sofia to Razgrad.
“When something is 100%, you will understand it”, was the brief comment on the subject of Chochev’s transfer to Razgrad technical director Kozmin Motsi.
“Servet” threatened to make life difficult for “Ludogorets”.
“We have to be careful against the opponent. Experience is on their side, but we have not given up,” said Swiss coach René Weiler.
