Botev
DLLLDL 📉
Since suffering a loss in their previous game against CSKA 1948 in First League competition, Botev will be hoping to turn things around here.
Thalis (38', 66'), Peter Vitanov (41') and Yevheniy Serdiuk (47', 49') scored for CSKA 1948.
The stats don’t lie, and Botev have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 matches, conceding 14 goals in total. At the back, Botev could really do with shoring things up. That sort of pattern isn’t assured to follow through into this next game, however.
Their previous form shows that Botev:
- have not registered a win against Levski Sofia when they have played them away from home in the previous 4 matches in the league. Not the best of away records.
- haven’t won away from home in the past 3 league games.
🤜🤛 Head to head

🗞️ Team News: Levski Sofia
Kristian Dimitrov (Foot injury), Karl Fabien (unknown injury) and Hassimi Fadiga (unknown injury) won’t be able to feature for Levski Sofia boss Julio Velázquez.
📰 Team News: Botev
Due to a mostly full-strength squad, there’s only the one fitness problem for the Botev manager Dušan Kerkez to be concerned about. Miroslav Marinov (Muscle fiber tear) won’t be in action.
💭 Prediction
We envisage that Levski Sofia look likely to get the goals that they need against Botev, who might well find it a difficult task to break down their defence.
We reckon that it will be a fairly comfortable 2-0 win for Levski Sofia when the full-time whistle blows.
