Lineups

Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Levski Sofia is 7.22, compared to 7.23 for Ludogorets. This metric is derived from each player's average match rating across all league appearances this season — anything above 7.00 is considered strong, while below 6.50 signals inconsistency. Levski Sofia's highest-rated starter is Everton Bala (7.54), while Ludogorets's best-rated player is Caio Vidal (8.03).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Levski Sofia have contributed 30 goals and 7 assists this season, led by Everton Bala (12G). Ludogorets's starters account for 22 goals and 11 assists, spearheaded by I. Chochev (12G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

Levski Sofia deploy 5 defenders rated 7.11 on average, against Ludogorets's 4-man backline averaging 7.05. Higher defensive ratings suggest better positional awareness, fewer individual errors, and a greater likelihood of keeping clean sheets. The rating accounts for tackles won, interceptions, aerial duels, and blocks throughout the season.

Midfield Control

Levski Sofia field 4 midfielders averaging 7.29, versus Ludogorets's 5 rated 7.42. Midfield ratings reflect passing accuracy, interceptions, key passes, and overall control of possession — the team that dominates midfield typically dictates the tempo and territory of the match.

Forward Threat

Levski Sofia start 1 forward(s) averaging 7.52, compared to 1 for Ludogorets averaging 7.37. Forward ratings capture shot accuracy, movement off the ball, dribbling success, and involvement in build-up play — they indicate who carries the greater goal threat on the day.

Passing & Build-Up

Passing accuracy averages 82% for Levski Sofia and 86% for Ludogorets. Higher passing accuracy generally indicates a possession-based style with patient build-up through the thirds, while lower figures may suggest a more direct, counter-attacking approach with long balls and quick transitions.

Discipline

Levski Sofia's starters have collected 25 yellow cards this season, compared to 29 for Ludogorets. Yellow cards reflect how aggressively a team presses and tackles — a high count may indicate a physical, high-pressing style but also risks suspensions and late free-kicks in dangerous areas.

Age & Experience

The average age of Levski Sofia's starting XI is 25.8 (youngest: M. Petkov (22), oldest: Tsunami (29)), while Ludogorets average 27.9 (youngest: Erick Marcus (21), oldest: S. Padt (35)). Younger squads typically offer pace, energy, and pressing intensity, while experienced lineups bring composure, game management, and the ability to handle high-pressure moments.

Squad Depth

Levski Sofia's starters average 20 league appearances each, versus 22 for Ludogorets. High appearance counts indicate an established, well-drilled unit that the manager trusts week in and week out. Lower figures may suggest rotation, injuries, or emerging players still earning their place in the team.
