Viktor Popov (strain) and Andreias Calcan (unknown injury) won’t be available for Cherno More Varna gaffer Ilian Iliev.
🗞️ Team News: Botev
Thanks to a largely available group of players, there is only the one fitness issue for the Botev gaffer Dušan Kerkez to contend with. Miroslav Marinov (Muscle fiber tear) won’t be playing here.
🧠 Prediction
Our thinking is that Cherno More Varna should dominate possession and create several successful chances.
In contrast, Botev may well struggle to break down their defence although we do see them getting the chances to score, too.
Our selection here is for a decent 3-1 winning score for Cherno More Varna at full-time.
