Bulgaria's champions Ludogorets Razgrad will host PSV Eindhoven on Thursday night in their last home game of the Europa League group stage.
Ludogorets have already qualified for the 1/16 finals in the spring, but the team will look to maintain its unbeaten record, which would also guarantee them the first place in the group.
PSV are currently in 2nd place, 3 points behind the Bulgarians and 3 points ahead of Chernomorets Odessa, with whom they are in a battle for qualification.
The Ludogorets captain Svetoslav Dyakov returns to the starting 11 after missing a game through suspension.
PSV's Bulgarian player Stanislav Manolev travelled with the team to Sofia, despite having fallen out with head coach Phillip Cocu. Manolev revealed his intentions to leave the Dutch team in January.
The match in Sofia's Vasil Levski National Stadium will kick off at 10:05 PM. It will be broadcasted live on the Bulgarian National Television.
