Since tasting defeat last time out to CSKA 1948 in First League action, Krumovgrad and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.
The only name on the scoresheet from Krumovgrad was Erol Dost (20'). Radoslav Kirilov (5', 22'), Thalis (42') and Mario Ilievski (62') scored for CSKA 1948.
In 5 of the prior six clashes involving Krumovgrad, a notably low volume of goals have been scored between them and their opposition. The overall average goals scored per game during that period comes out as a paltry 1.67, with the average goals for Krumovgrad equalling 0.33. It will be interesting to see whether or not that trend will end up being sustained into this next match.

Prediction
We feel that in this game, Ludogorets Razgrad will most probably stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.
At the same time, Krumovgrad wonโt find it easy to score but we do think itโs quite likely that they will be hitting back at some stage.
We reckon that it will be a pretty comfortable 3-1 margin for Ludogorets Razgrad at the end of this one.
