Ludogorets captain Kiril Despodov also expressed optimism before the rematch with the Ballkani.

"We only think about winning and eliminating the opponent. There was a drop in mood after the bad match in Europe, but we have to think about the rematch, because we have a very tough game ahead of us," began Kiril Despodov.

"The boys are motivated to do everything possible and eliminate Ballkani. The most important thing is to play as a team and believe. We have the qualities to score more than two goals. We know it and we have to show it in tomorrow's game. The Ballkani team was certainly more aggressive than us. There is nothing different waiting for us, we have to respond to it. I don't know what tactics they will use, but we shouldn't care," Despodov concluded.
