Ludogorets Razgrad will be at home on Thursday to welcome Spartak Trnava on matchday one of the Europa Conference League. The two teams have been pooled together in Group H alongside Fenerbahce and Nordsjalland. Ludogorets qualified for the group stages of the Conference League after being eliminated from the Europa League qualifiers in the third round. The Bulgaria champions started their European journey in the Champions League qualifying rounds. They will hope their inconsistencies in Europe don’t crop up again here in their quest for a top-two finish in this group. Ivaylo Petev’s men arrive for this match after avoiding defeat in their last three outings. They have won twice in this period and drew 2-2 with Botev Plovdiv in the league last time out. One of those wins was a 1-0 success away to Ajax in the Europa League.

Spartak Trnava have ended a four-year wait to reach the group stages of a European club competition. Michal Gasparik’s men defeated Dnipro-1 3-2 on aggregate in the playoffs to achieve this feat. They won the second leg 2-1 away from home and will hope for the same fate here. The Slovak outfit has been in good form in Europe. They lost just one of their six qualifiers and won three times. The White Angels have been in superb goal-scoring form lately and have scored 12 goals in their last two outings. Spartak followed up their 8-0 success over Surany in the Cup by winning 4-3 away to Zemplin Michalovce in the league. The visitors have lost only once in their last eight matches and have won five times.
