Lineups

Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Ludogorets is 7.13, compared to 7.19 for Levski Sofia. 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. Ludogorets's highest-rated starter is Caio Vidal (8.03), while Levski Sofia's best-rated player is M. Sangaré (7.52).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Ludogorets have contributed 26 goals and 10 assists this season, led by I. Chochev (12G). Levski Sofia's starters account for 17 goals and 6 assists, spearheaded by M. Sangaré (7G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

Ludogorets deploy 4 defenders rated 7.00 on average, against Levski Sofia's 5-man backline averaging 7.13. 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

Ludogorets field 4 midfielders averaging 7.52, versus Levski Sofia's 3 rated 7.14. 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

Ludogorets start 2 forward(s) averaging 6.87, compared to 2 for Levski Sofia averaging 7.52. 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 85% for Ludogorets and 82% for Levski Sofia. 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

Ludogorets's starters have collected 20 yellow cards this season, compared to 24 for Levski Sofia. 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 Ludogorets's starting XI is 28.6 (youngest: Rwan Cruz (24), oldest: S. Padt (35)), while Levski Sofia average 27.0 (youngest: M. Petkov (22), oldest: C. Ohene (32)). 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

Ludogorets's starters average 19 league appearances each, versus 20 for Levski Sofia. 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.
