Botev Vratsa
Botev Vratsa (врачани) have had a mixed bag of results over their past five matches, winning two and losing three, with their latest trio of results reading a 1-0 home win over Botev Plovdiv, a 2-0 away defeat to Arda Kardzhali and a 3-2 win over Septemvri Sofia.
Levski Sofia
- Levski Sofia (Сините) have been flying of late, winning four and losing one of their past five competitive matches, including a current three-match winning streak.
- Julio Velazquez took over as head coach on 5 January 2025, and since then the Blues have pressed the ball with more urgency and controlled the game through superior possession and positioning.
Head-to-Head
Levski last met Botev 3-1 seven months ago, and the head-to-head record between these two sides favours Levski (W4, D1) so the visitors will have to be at their very best to get the job done on Sunday.
Key Players
- Filip Gigov has been their main goal threat of late, scoring two of their four goals in the last five games.
- Serginho has been a star in central midfield, creating four assists in their last five.
Betting Insights
- The odds heavily favor the away side, and at 1.42Levski make little appeal, while Botev are listed at a crazy 7.44 as the huge dark horses.
- An under 2.5 goals wager looks very tempting at 1.85, but we'll play that if Botev can slow the pace down.
Prediction
We simply can't ignore this discrepancy, and the fact that Botev have failed to win any of their last three home meetings with Levski makes the Blues even more likely winners.
