Match Facts

  • Ludogorets have won three of their four meetings with Dutch opponents, losing the other against Ajax in August last year.

  • AZ are unbeaten in all three of their previous meetings with Bulgarian opponents (W2 D1), with this their first since a 2-0 win at Litex Lovech in the 2005-06 UEFA Cup.

  • Ludogorets have only mustered seven shots on target in five UEFA Europa League matches this season – every other side has had at least 15. Their 1.4 shots on target per game average is the lowest by a side in a campaign since Brøndby IF in 2021-22 (4 in 6 games, 0.7 per game).

  • AZ have lost seven consecutive away major European matches, conceding 15 goals. It’s their worst ever away losing run in Europe.

  • Ludogorets are starting their open play sequences, on average, 33.5 metres from their own goal in the UEFA Europa League this season, the lowest total of any side.
