The team of Ludogorets welcomes Heber in the first semi-final clash of the tournament for the SESAME Cup of Bulgaria in football. The match at the Huevefarma Arena stadium in Razgrad is tonight (April 24) in Razgrad at 18:45. You can watch the match on DIEMA SPORT, as well as follow everything important before, during and after the match on Gong.bg.
Bernard Tekpetei will not be available for the Eagles due to injury. However, his absence is not a serious blow, because on the flank Georgi Dermendzhiev has Rick Jonathan, Kayo Vidal and Spas Delev.
Ludogorets and Heber went head-to-head at the weekend as the champions took a classic 3-0 victory.
Ludogorets coach Georgi Dermendzhiev warned: “We have two more matches with Heber for the Bulgarian Cup and I think they will be different from this one. A good win, but when you play the same opponent every few days, you lose motivation and we have to be very focused. I want us to play evenly and win the championship title and the Cup.“
The team, led by Luboslav Penev, finished the regular season in the efbet Liga in 13th place with 30 points and will be fighting for their survival. Heber have won one of their last five league matches, losing the other four.
The second leg of the semi-final clash will take place on May 2, Thursday, at the “Georgi Benkovski” stadium in Pazardzhik at 18:45.
CSKA and Botev Pd are arguing in the other semi-final pair. After the first match in Sofia, the Canaries have a 1:0 lead.
