- Luka Juricic is Borac's most dangerous player, with 3 of his 5 goals for the team having come in their last 5 fixtures, but they have been much better going forward when they've been able to get the ball to their striker early.

Betting Insights
- There's nothing here that really grabs the attention, but the visitors' price of 2.65 is a bit low in relation to the hosts at 2.67 and the draw at 3.05.
- The Under 2.5 goals at 1.6 looks a good fit for this matchup between Bulgaria's 2026 champions and a disciplined Bosnian side that could hold their own.
Prediction
- This fixture should be a cagey encounter with a little bit of a chess match feel.
- Levski will come out on top in terms of territory and possession, while Borac will sit back, make life difficult and look to break forward.
- But there's enough in the stats to suggest that the home side could nick this one at Gradski Stadion, having scored 8 goals in their 4 home games this term, so we're going for a low-scoring draw.
