Arda Kardzhali

WLDDDL

Arda Kardzhali will be looking to improve on their last outing here after the 0-3 First League losing effort in their last game against Levski Sofia.

Patrik Myslovič (6'), Iliyan Stefanov (16') and Christian Makoun (37') scored for Levski Sofia.

It’s been all too rare in recent games that Arda Kardzhali have shown defensive steel. In fact, Arda Kardzhali have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, leaking 9 goals during that time. That kind of trend won’t necessarily be sustained into this game, of course.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Arda Kardzhali:

• have not been beaten in the league by Cherno More Varna in their previous 3 games.
• are without a win at home for the past 2 matches in the league.

📋 Team News: Cherno More Varna

In an otherwise full-strength group, there’s just the lone fitness issue for the Cherno More Varna boss Ilian Iliev to be concerned about. Andreias Calcan (unknown injury) won’t be playing here.

🔮 Prediction

Our assessment here is that Cherno More Varna will need to apply a lot of pressure to breach the defence of this Arda Kardzhali side who we think will score at least once to gain the upper hand.

We therefore see a very competitive game with a 1-0 winning margin for Arda Kardzhali at the end of the 90.

Looking forward to this.
