FC Arda Kardzhali, on the other hand, have struggled recently. Their last five matches show L, D, L, L, W. A 2-0 friendly loss to Lokomotiv Plovdiv was followed by a 1-1 home draw with Cherno More Varna. Heavy defeats to CSKA Sofia (4-1) and Botev Plovdiv (3-2) exposed defensive frailties, though they did beat Botev Vratsa 2-0 at home. Away from home, Arda have won 2, drawn 1, and lost 2 in the league, scoring 6 and conceding 7.

Head-to-Head Record

The overall head-to-head record heavily favors Ludogorets: 9 wins, 6 draws, and only 2 losses in 17 meetings. However, recent encounters have been more balanced. In the last five matches, Arda won twice (1-0 in April 2026 and 3-2 in November 2025), there were two draws (2-2 and 1-1 in May 2025), and Ludogorets claimed a 4-0 away win in December 2024. This suggests Arda can be competitive, but Ludogorets’ home advantage and historical dominance still give them the edge.
