Then Ludogorets hammered CSKA Sofia in the match for the Bulgarian Super Cup (4-0), tied against Mura in the first leg of the Champions League qualification quarterfinals (0-0), and beat Lokomotiv from Plovdiv in the first round of the Bulgarian championship (3-1). Ludogorets scored six out of nine goals in the second half. Bookmakers give a coefficient of 1.42 on the fact that the hosts will upset the goalkeeper of Mura in the second half.

Mura did not experience any problems with Shkendia in the first round of the Champions League qualification (1-0 and 5-0). But then the Black-and-Whites lost their victorious rhythm — they cannot win in three matches in a row. Mura lost two out of three matches, and both defeats happened in the Slovenian Championship (0-3 against Tabor Sezana and 2-3 against Koper). There was a goalless draw with Ludogorets between them. Mura conceded goals in both halves of lost games. Bookmakers give the coefficient of 1.75 that goals will be scored in both halves of the upcoming game.
Ludogorets had a noticeable advantage in the first leg. The Eagles possessed the ball 61% of regulation time. However, that advantage did not result in a large number of shots on goal. Mura delivered 11 shots on goal of Ludogorets, while the Bulgarian team shot 14 times. The Slovenes hit the target twice, and their opponents did it only once. Never in the last five matches with the participation of Ludogorets was a goal scored before the 28th minute. The earliest goal was scored in the 29th minute of the match against CSKA Sofia. As for Mura, this happens more often. In four out of five matches, goals were scored before the 28th minute. But you need to take into account the fact that the Slovenes themselves have difficulties with the conversion of their chances. They managed to score in only one of the last three matches. Therefore, if anyone opens the scoring, it will be Ludogorets. But Bulgarians are not famous for their ability to score quick goals.
Prediction for the match: The first goal to be scored after the 28th minute
