Key Players
- Antonio Vutov has been a spark plug for Arda with 2 goals in 5 games, but his pace won't be a factor against a compact Levski midfield who will try to lock out their playmakers in wide areas.
- Reinaldo has been the consistent threat for the visitors with 2 of Levski's 5 goals coming in their last 5 matches, so we're siding with the Brazilian to score anytime on Tuesday.
- Aleksandar Tunchev has set up Arda in a 4-2-3-1 system that is built on quick transitions, compact defending and vertical counters when they have the ball.
- Julio Velazquez has his Levski team drilled into a compact 4-2-3-1, with a disciplined midfield pivot, which will sit in a narrow, compact mid-block and make quick breaks into the channels.
Betting Insights
- Levski are the table-topping favorites in this encounter at 1.76, with Arda coming in at 4.7 and the draw at 3.34, which looks a little short, but it is true to say that this matchup has been all about the Blues (Сините) in recent years.
- Levski are the league leaders with 28 points from 10 matches, compared to Arda's 6th placed tally of 17 from 11.
- With Levski having the better form and Arda looking to get on the front foot at their own ground, we feel that the away win is more likely, but the home team could keep it close based on their home numbers, so we're going for under 2.5 goals at 1.6 and both teams to score - NO at 1.69.
