In the course of their 6 latest matches, Nikolay Kirov's Spartak Varna have turned their attacks into goals a total of 6 times thus earning them the goals scored per game average of 1.
Heading into this contest, Spartak Varna remain unbeaten by Botev when having played them away from home in the previous 2 matches in the league.
An examination of their prior head to head clashes going back to 24/10/2008 tells us that Botev have won 1 of these & Spartak Varna 3, with the number of drawn games standing at 2.
A combined sum of 10 goals were scored between the two sides in these games, with 4 of them from The Canaries and 6 created by The Falcons. That is an average goals per game value of 1.67.
The previous league clash featuring these sides was First League match day 21 on 15/02/2025 when the final score was Spartak Varna 1-0 Botev.
The referee was Georgi Davidov.
Anthony Ujah (Patellar tendon rupture) and Georgi Nikolov (Shoulder injury) are not available for Botev boss Dušan Kerkez.
In our opinion, Botev will more than likely be able to score a couple when they play Spartak Varna, who could well find it tough getting on the scoresheet.
We’re therefore anticipating a comfortable 2-0 win for Botev by the time that the referee blows the final whistle.
