Ludogorets had their official practice prior to the game against Bayer. Antoni Zdravkov and the 22 players began their practice on Wednesday at 6:00 p.m. It was raining during the whole practice and rain is also expected during the game tonight.
‘After the game against AEK I said that we will play for the prestige and every point we win will add to that. We have a game against Vitosha (Bistritsa) before the game against CSKA (Sofia) and the three points are important despite the class of the competitor. We do not feel comfort because of our overall advantage. We are obligated to maintain that advantage’, said Zdravkov.
Keseru claimed that Bayer is the team with the best players in the group in terms of physical condition.
‘The situation would have been different now if the first game in Razgrad ended differently than 2:3’, added the Romanian player.
PFC Ludogorets would like to announce that all the fans can exchange their vouchers for tickets after 5:00 p.m. at the cash desk located next to the guest sector.
The stadium will be opened at5:30 p.m. and the game starts at 6:55 p.m. (local time).
