Being a clash of contrasting positions, the game can’t get more interesting. UEFA Europa League leaders SS Lazio are set to be the host for Bulgarian side PFC Ludogorets Razgrad in their fifth league phase clash. Being played at the iconic Stadio Olimpico, located in the beautiful city of Rome, this game is sure to make the audience experience another chill experience, much to the awe of favourites, home side Lazio.
SS Lazio are having an all-win run in the current phase, having won against the tough sides they faced so far, FC Porto, Twente, OGC Nice, and Dynamo Kyiv. Obviously, they are the table-toppers for now with all wins, and no loss or even draws to halt their progress. They will aim to continue their winning run, with the mission of finishing as league phase toppers.
PFC Ludogorets Razgrad, the rulers of the Bulgarian top-tier, are struggling badly in the European tournament. They are currently trembling at the 34th spot, far away from the race for a spot in the next round. However, a win should be dreamt of as they have little to lose, and hopes can change things in their favour to make headlines.

Key Players to Watch in Lazio vs Ludogorets
Pedro (SS Lazio)
The veteran winger is really proving why he is still a regular at the age of 37. With his exceptional dribbling, ability to tear the defense lines, and goal scoring habit, he has been the man behind the success for some time this season.
Playing against a weak back-line like that of the Ludogorets, who have conceded five goals already despite playing defensive, Pedro should be eyeing to score a brace minimum. After all, he has goal contributions in every match of Europa this season, this is the weakest side he is set to play.
Dinis Almeida (Ludogorets)
The Portuguese centre-back was one of the reasons for the team not conceding much and only losing by small margins. His error-free tackles, clean defending, ability to cater to the midfield, and most importantly nature of judging the ball well has been a plus for Ludogorets.
The 28-year-old will face the toughest challenge of the UEFA Europa League next, as one of the most lethal midfield-forward lineups are up against him and his mates. Would be interesting to see if he dodges them well enough in this game.
Lazio vs Ludogorets Prediction
SS Lazio are expected to win this one with domination, firstly because they are enjoying an all-win run, nextly PFC Ludogorets Razgrad haven’t won a game and are leaky in the defense, and most importantly SS Lazio are playing at home. PFC Ludogorets are not expected to fight back easily, as they have a weaker squad and poor form.
