Arda
- Arda Kardzhali currently sit 5th in the Parva Liga 2026-2027 table with 16 points from nine games and have had a reasonably solid start to the season in the top half of the table.
- Aleksandar Tunchev's men will need to hit back after losing their two most recent games, a 3-2 loss at home to Botev Plovdiv and a 4-1 away defeat to CSKA Sofia.
Cherno More
- PFC Cherno More Varna have had a poor start to the new season and currently sit 12th in the table with just five points from their opening nine matches, leaving Ilian Iliev's side in real danger near the bottom of the standings.
- Their most recent outings include a 1-0 away loss to Lokomotiv Plovdiv and a 2-2 home draw against Lokomotiv Sofia 1929.
Head-to-Head
- Cherno More are without a win in their last two home head-to-heads, which gives the visitors a slight advantage.
- Arda have won one, drawn none and lost one of the last two head-to-heads, winning 3-2 3 months ago.
Betting Insights
- Cherno More are yet to win away in the 2026/2027 season, drawing once and losing four times from five away trips and conceding 10 goals in the process.
- Arda have won three, drawn none and lost just once in four home games in the 2026/2027 campaign, conceding just four goals in that time.
- Arda are the clear favourites at 1.79, but Cherno More come into this game at a large 4.59 and the tie at 3.38.
- Under 2.5 goals at 1.64 looks like it fits the script and both teams to score - No at 1.72 also appeals, as this is a possession versus transition game and it'll be a case of which team can impose their game plan on the opposition.
Prediction
The odds are still on the side of the favourites , but we feel that there is still a strong case for a close, cagey game on Saturday.
