CSKA Sofia vs Botev Plovdiv Prediction & Betting Tips (30 August)

CSKA Sofia have not been in the best of form on their own patch recently, winning just two of their previous 15 top-flight matches, and the Seagulls have actually been beaten in four of their last six home games. Botev Plovdiv, by way of contrast, have enjoyed eight wins in 15 the Parva liga fixtures of late, and they have splashed the cash on new players this summer.

With 15 of the previous 21 CSKA Sofia matches at the venue in the Parva liga serving up no more than a couple of goals. This has also been the case in ten of the most recent 15 top-flight fixtures featuring Botev Plovdiv, meaning that more of the same is expected when the two sides meet.

It has been quite an unusual experience to see CSKA Sofia both score and concede during the same 91 minutes in a Parva liga fixture recently, with this happening just three times out of a possible 11. Given that only six of the previous 21 top-flight games involving Botev Plovdiv have produced goals at both ends, at least one of the two keepers should pitch a shutout here.
