Inter Milan vs Ludogorets Prediction
Ludogorets impressively dispatched CSKA Moscow 5-1 in the group stage, but only won twice, failing to win any of their last four group games. Now with a convincing home loss to Inter in the bank, it would appear that all the momentum is drained from the Bulgarian champions-elect in this season’s Europa League.
Inter Milan are very much in the title hunt in Italy, and having fallen out of the Champions League at the group stage (to the likes of Barcelona and Dortmund), Conte’s side will be driven to make a mark in Europe with a side built for rotation when required. Home form in Europe hasn’t been great so far, losing to Barcelona and drawing to Sparta Prague, with only a 2-0 victory over Dortmund to their name.

Ludogorets, according to the stats are in trouble, in what is shaping up to be their last match of this season’s tournament at the San Siro. Their average of conceding 1.7 goals a game, compared to scoring 1.43 per match looks to have caught up with them.

Inter could go with the 3-1-4-2, possibly rotating some key players with the 2-0 in the bank and crucial domestic games coming thick and fast.
