LLLLLL 🆘

Pre-game facts show that Spartak Varna:

• have not registered a win against Botev in their last 4 matches in the league.
• have not won at home in their last 9 league matches. They will be so desperate to end this run.

Botev

Looking at their form, and Botev have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, with opponents netting 9 goals overall. In defence, Botev have been far from perfect. That sort of pattern might not be continued into this match, though.

Their prior results show that Botev:

• remain unbeaten by Spartak Varna in games played away from home for the previous 2 league games.
• are without an away win for the past 9 league games. What a terrible run of away results.

📰 Team News: Spartak Varna

The Spartak Varna manager Todor Kiselichkov will be grateful to have no fitness worries at all before this clash owing to a fully healthy group to pick from. The players who will not be able to play in this game through being suspended are Mohammed Fatau and Prosper Mendy.

It’s our opinion that The Falcons will possibly opt for a 3-1-4-2 formation this time with Ivan Dichevski, Emanuel Moura, Nikola Borisov, Plamen Dimov, Ivaylo Klimentov, Ilker Budinov, Rumen Rumenov, Bozhidar Vasev, Viktor Mitev, Romeesh Ivey and Zdravko Dimitrov.

ℹ️ Team News: Botev

Botev manager Željko Kopić has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Todor Nedelev (Head Injury) and Stanislav Rabotov (Knee Surgery) are names that won’t be on the team sheet. Martin Kavdanski is ineligible for this match because of suspension.

There’s a good chance that The Canaries seem most likely to utilise a 3-1-4-2 system, choosing Hidajet Hankic, Samuel Souprayen, Viktor Genev, Roberto Puncec, James Eto'o, Roy Herman, Reda Rabei, Dylan Mertens, Mohamed Brahimi, Antoine Baroan and Elvis Manu.

⚡ Prediction

Our feeling is that Spartak Varna might well have a job on their hands to put one past this Botev team who we think will likely score at least once to gain the upper hand.

Our tip is therefore for a very competitive game with a 0-1 winning margin for Botev after 90 minutes.

Expecting it to be tight.
