Looking at the pre-match facts, Cherno More Varna:
Looking at their most recent head to head meetings going back to 25/10/2024 tells us that Botev have won 3 of them and Cherno More Varna 2, with the tally of draws standing at 1.
A combined sum of 16 goals were scored between them during those clashes, with 10 of them from The Canaries and 6 for The Sailors. That is an average goals per game value of 2.67.
The last league meeting between these clubs was First League match day 35 on 16/05/2026 and the score finished Botev 5-0 Cherno More Varna.
The referee was Lyuboslav Lyubomirov.
Owing to an otherwise healthy squad, there is only a single fitness problem for the Cherno More Varna manager Ilian Iliev to contend with. Jorge Padilla (unknown injury) misses out for this game. Idris Bounaas is ineligible for this match because of suspension.
Our feeling is that Cherno More Varna certainly have the ability to score against this Botev outfit, but it may not quite be enough to prevent defeat.
We reckon that it will be a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 winning score for Botev after 90 minutes. Expecting it to be very competitive.
Looking at the bookies’ prices in the full-time result market, a victory for Botev is best priced at 2.05, betting on a draw is 3.2 and betting on the winner to be Cherno More Varna can be had at 3.4. They are the most competitive market prices offered at the current time.
