The only name on the scoresheet from Botev Vratsa was Boubacar Traorè (37'). Matthias Phaëton (92') scored for CSKA Sofia.

A look at their previous results shows us that Botev Vratsa:
- have not emerged victorious against Slavia Sofia in away games against them for the last 4 league matches. They really have not been travelling well at all.
- haven’t won away from home in the past 11 league matches. A poor run.
🤜🤛 Head to head

ℹ️ Team News: Botev Vratsa
In an otherwise available squad, there is only the one fitness problem for the Botev Vratsa boss Hristo Yanev to contend with. Miroslav Marinov (Muscle fiber tear) won’t be playing here.
✨ Prediction
We feel that Slavia Sofia can and should see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities.
Conversely, Botev Vratsa may well struggle to break down their defence although we do see them scoring.
We can therefore see a comfortable 3-1 margin for Slavia Sofia at full-time.
