Real Betis will look to return to winning ways when they play Ludogorets at the Ludogorets Arena in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday (October 27).
Los Verdiblancos are atop Group C with ten points, winning their opening three games before a 1-1 draw with AS Roma. Sergio Canales' first-half strike for the hosts was canceled out by Andrea Belotti early into the restart to secure a point for the Giallorossi.
A victory this week will ensure a direct place in the Round of 16 for the La Liga side.
However, Betis haven't been at their best lately, winning just one of their last five games across competitions. Manuel Pellegrini's side were beaten 2-1 by Atletico Madrid in La Liga at the weekend, but it was their first loss in six games.
Ludogorets, meanwhile, are just three points behind them and come into Thursday's clash on a four-game winning run across competitions. The Bulgarian side have done well despite being drawn in a tough group and are still in contention to reach the last 16.
