In the domestic pecking order, Ludogorets find themselves in the rather dizzying heights at position 30, while Celta Vigo lounges comfortably in the 4th seat.
Key players on the radar: The home team will be hoping that P. Stanić, their goal machine with 2 strikes this season, has polished his shooting boots. Celta Vigo, on the other hand, know that keeping I. Aspas tightly packed is as crucial as remembering to water the plants, given his prolific role as the assist king with a staggering one assist this season.

Not forgetting Edvin Kurtulus, who brings up the rear guard with a solid 6.95.

Celta Vigo, however, seems to be slightly better at sharing but still hold onto the ball like a sibling not wanting to give up the TV remote, with an average possession of 52.5%. As for set-piece drama, corners are a dead heat as both teams consistently hit the magic number of 4 per match. Disciplinary-wise, Ludogorets and Celta Vigo have danced the yellow card tango 8 and 6 times respectively, each dodging reds like a vampire avoiding garlic, and both conceding just 1 penalty this season.
