Match context and recent form
The Europa League trip to Razgrad on 27 November shapes up as a demanding evening for Ludogorets, who will welcome a confident Celta de Vigo to the Huvepharma Arena. On paper the gap is stark: Celta sit atop their group with nine points from four matches, while Ludogorets have managed just three points. Recent results underline that difference — Ludogorets arrive here with mixed domestic form, a 2-0 win at Septemvri Sofia offset by defeats to Arda and Ferencvárosi, and a worrying record in their group where they’ve conceded nine goals in four matches. Celta, conversely, come off the back of a narrow La Liga win over Deportivo Alavés and boast a seven-wins in ten run that features a solid showing in Europe, including a 3-0 victory over Dinamo Zagreb.
The statistical story supports Celta’s superiority. The visitors have averaged fewer losses, more shots inside the box and a better goals-scored return in group play (9 scored, 4 conceded) compared to Ludogorets’ 5 scored and 9 conceded. Celta’s away numbers show a team that can travel and deliver results — their recent 1-0 away win in Spain and an earlier 2-4 reverse at home to Barcelona suggest they’re comfortable in open contests and are battle-tested against higher-level opposition.
Tactical clues and what to expect
At Razgrad, home advantage exists but does not appear to swing the needle decisively in Ludogorets’ favour. Ludogorets’ matches have tended to be open; their team totals and averages point to fixtures with a decent chance of goals, while Celta’s matches display similar traits — an emphasis on inside-the-box attempts and a high over-2.5 rate across recent fixtures. The data flags a contest where Celta’s organized offense and superior group form should allow them to dominate possession phases and create the clearer chances, while Ludogorets will rely on set-piece moments and counter opportunities in front of their 10,422-capacity crowd.

Betting suggestion
Based on form, group position and shot/goal metrics, the clearest value here lies in the 1X2 market: Celta de Vigo to win at 1.73.
