Ludogorets Razgrad will be meeting the Dutch giants Ajax at Huvepharma Arena for the first leg of their Europa League playoff. Ajax head directly into Europa League qualifying after finishing third in the Eredivisie last season. The hosts failed to make it past NK Olimpija Ljubljana in the second round of the Champions League battle, suffering a 3-2 aggregate defeat. The visitors will be determined to eliminate the hosts for European football by picking up a win from the first leg and also the second leg of this encounter. It promises to be an exciting match, as I recommend betting on this match in favor of a win for the visiting team. Below are my reasons;

FIRST REASON

Ludogorets head into Thursday's first leg on the back of a surprise 1-0 defeat to Cherno More, with Ihor Plastun and Matias Tissera both receiving a red card in the second-half stoppage time. Meanwhile, the visiting team is on a two games unbeaten streak and will be determined to extend their streak by securing a win from this encounter. The former Sparta Rotterdam manager Maurice Steijn has overseen an unbeaten start to the 2023-24 campaign. After thrashing Heracles 4-1 on the opening weekend of the Eredivisie season, De Godenzonen came from behind to register a 2-2 draw against Excelsior last weekend, so Steijn will be hopeful of picking up another positive result from this clash with Ludogorets.

SECOND REASON

Denny Gropper and Anton Nedyalkov have not featured for Ludogorets this season as they continue to recover from injury, while Kwadwo Duah is also expected to miss the first leg of the clash for the host. The absence of their big game players makes them inferior to the quality of the visitors. Mohammed Kudus is expected to start for the visitors, linking up with Steven Bergwijn, Carlos Borges, and Brian Brobbey as the attacking force. The visitors will be determined to take the lead in this first leg of the Europa League playoffs. Having lost a couple of league games in uncharacteristic fashion, Ludogorets look set to suffer another defeat when Ajax visits the Huvepharma Aren for their Europa League qualification battle.

拉兹格勒将在欧联杯季后赛首回合对阵荷兰豪门阿贾克斯。阿贾克斯在上赛季获得荷甲联赛第三名后直接进入欧联杯预选赛。在欧冠第二轮比赛中，东道主未能击败卢布尔雅那奥林匹克队，以总比分3-2落败。客队将下定决心，在首回合和次回合比赛中取得胜利，淘汰东道主。这将是一场激动人心的比赛，我建议赌客队赢。以下是我的理由:

第一个原因

卢多戈雷茨在0 - 1不敌切尔诺莫尔的情况下进入了周四的首回合，普拉滕和蒂塞拉都在下半场补时阶段吃到了红牌。与此同时，客队已经保持了两场不败，并决心通过这场比赛的胜利来延长他们的连胜纪录。前鹿特丹斯巴达主教练莫里斯·施泰因带领球队在2023-24赛季保持不败开局。在荷甲首战周末4-1大胜赫拉克勒斯之后，上个周末德·高登佐宁后来居上，以2-2战平埃克塞尔，所以施泰因希望在与卢多戈雷茨的比赛中获得另一个积极的结果。

第二个原因

丹尼-格罗珀和安东-内迪亚科夫本赛季还没有为卢多戈雷茨出场，因为他们还在伤愈中，而瓜沃-杜阿也将缺席主场的首回合比赛。主力队员的缺席使他们的水平不如客队。默罕默德·库德斯有望在客队首发，他将与史蒂芬·伯格维因、卡洛斯·博尔赫斯和布莱恩·布罗比组成进攻阵容。客队将下定决心在欧联杯季后赛第一回合取得领先。在以一种不寻常的方式输掉了几场联赛之后，卢多戈雷特看起来将在阿贾克斯在欧联杯资格赛中客场挑战胡韦法尔阿伦时再次遭遇失败。
