📏 Form Guide

Beroe Stara Zagora
LWDDLW ⚖
Beroe Stara Zagora, following on from their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after the 1-2 First League success against Spartak Varna.

It’s not been often in recent games that Beroe Stara Zagora have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that Beroe Stara Zagora have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 games, letting in 7 goals along the way.

Botev
DWDDWL
Since suffering a loss in their previous game against CSKA Sofia in First League action, Botev will be aiming to make amends here.
Marcelino Carreazo (12'), Stanislav Shopov (27') and Ioannis Pittas (58') scored for CSKA Sofia.
The numbers tell their own story, and Botev have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing their opponents hit 8 goals overall. Defensively, Botev certainly have room for improvement. It will be interesting to find out if that trend can be continued on into this next match.
Leading up to this clash, Botev:
- have not been beaten by Beroe Stara Zagora in away games against them for the last 4 matches in the league. A very good record, indeed.
- are without an away win for the past 7 league matches.
👥 Head to head
An examination of past results between these clubs going back to 26/02/2023 shows that these fixtures have been miserable for Beroe Stara Zagora. They have not managed to get any wins at all whereas Botev have just been too good for them, running out winners in 67% of those match-ups.
A combined total of 12 goals were shared by the two clubs during those clashes, with 2 of them from Zelenite and 10 netted by The Canaries. The average goals per game has been 2.
ℹ️ Team News: Beroe Stara Zagora
Availability isn’t a big problem, with just a single fitness concern for the Beroe Stara Zagora gaffer Josu Uribe to be concerned about thanks to an almost full-strength set of players. Stefan Gavrilov (Knee surgery) misses out.
It’s our opinion that Zelenite could line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation for this one, handing starts to Arthur, Joao Miguel, Juan Salomoni, Luciano Squadrone, Stanislav Yovkov, Thiago Ceijas, Carlos Algarra, Kevin Ceijas, Alberto Salido, Juan Pineda and Santiago Godoy.
ℹ️ Team News: Botev
Botev manager Dušan Kerkez has to currently contend with reduced team options. Anthony Ujah (Patellar tendon rupture) and Georgi Nikolov (Shoulder injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.
We’re of the thinking that The Canaries seem likely to play in a 4-4-2 formation, settling for H. Christian Bernat, Yanis Karabelyov, Joonas Tamm, Jamal Amofa, Ehije Ukaki, Nikolay Minkov, Alen Korosec, Andrey Yordanov, Ivelin Popov, Samuel Akere and Vinni Triboulet.
⚡ Prediction
We believe that Beroe Stara Zagora will need to apply a lot of pressure to put one past this Botev side who we think will likely emerge victorious.
We therefore see a 0-1 advantage for Botev when the full-time whistle blows.
Will be interesting to see how this one goes.
