Head-to-head statistics Ludogorets - Cherno More

Ludogorets Team Overview
In the league, Ludogorets are third, with seven wins and two draws from nine matches. The break, however, began with a change in the dugout. Thomas Rice left for Trabzonspor, and the Razgrad club received compensation for the German. Igor Jovičević returned to the club and took charge on 23 September. The Croatian had his first test on 27 September, when Ludogorets thrashed Râmnicu Vâlcea 3-0 - a second-division side from Romania. The scoreline could have been even bigger, as the Razgrad club missed a penalty and hit the woodwork twice. Four new signings also made their debuts in that match: Ivo Grbić, Ivan Želižko, Amir Hadžiahmetović and Omar Rekik.

The Risky Bet
The most likely scenario is a clean-sheet win for Ludogorets, and there's a decent price available for it. In 6 of their last 7 matches, Cherno More have been involved in games with fewer than three goals. Ludogorets don't need much to win: they have scored nine goals in their last five home matches in Razgrad. The risk is clear - a single goal from the Varna side kills the bet. The bet is Total Goals - Under 2.5.
Reliable Bet
Cherno More's weak point is their away form. In six away league matches, the Varna side have scored just four goals. Against Ludogorets in Razgrad, it is hard to expect much more from them. Even if the visitors do find the net, we are not expecting a second goal from them. The bet is Cherno More Team Total - Under 1.5.
