Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just one fitness concern for the Botev boss Lachezar Baltanov to be concerned about from of an almost fully healthy group. Todor Nedelev (Torn knee ligaments) is sidelined.
🔮 Prediction
Our assessment is that Cherno More Varna and Botev should play out a closely-fought contest here.
A close call, and we think a draw is quite likely. That is why we are leaning toward a hard-fought score draw when the referee blows the full-time whistle.
