Prediction published on 22/02/2024, 04:21  by Daniel Ngulu in Conference League Predictions

Bulgarian giants Ludogorets will welcome Servette for their Conference League knockout round return leg encounter on Thursday. This game comes after the two played out a 0-0 draw in the first leg in Switzerland, hosted by Servette. The first leg result seemed to be in favor of Ludogorets and they will seek to build on it here. A win of any margin will be enough for them to advance. They had a perfect warm up for this game, coming from behind to beat Cherno more 3-1 at home. That win marked their eighth unbeaten outing since losing to Slavia Sofia in November 2023. It was also their fourth unbeaten outing at home, a run that has three wins and a draw. Ludogorets had a good run in the Conference League, finishing second only on goal difference. They will hope to carry on with the run here, having won three of their last four Conference League games. They carry into this game a four-game unbeaten run in this competition. At home, they’ve played four Conference League matches, and won all, with clean sheets.

Servette finished a distant third in their Europa League group, the reason they are playing in this round. They come here as clear underdogs and the 0-0 draw at home in the first leg doesn’t favor them at all. The one positive they carry into this game is that they didn’t concede at home, but they now have to at least score. Facing a side that has done well at home in this competition comes as an uphill task. This will also be in the context that they managed just one win in their last six matches in Europe, losing three. They however did well to come from behind with late goals to beat Lugano 2-1 in their last outing. Servette will hope to do better away from home than they did in the Europa League group stages. They conceded nine goals in their three away matches, twice losing 4-0. In the Conference League, this will be Servette’s fourth match in history. They failed to score in two of the three previous matches in the competition.
