Match preview

Septemvri Sofia enter this round eight encounter looking to extend a positive run of results, having picked up seven points from their last three matches with consecutive 1-0 victories over Spartak Varna and CSKA 1948 followed by a 1-1 draw against Slavia Sofia. Sitting seventh in the table with eight points, the hosts have tightened up defensively after a difficult start to the campaign.

Botev Vratsa travel to Sofia sitting 12th in the standings with just four points from their opening seven games. The visitors have struggled significantly on their travels this season, losing all four of their away fixtures while conceding 11 goals and scoring only twice, most recently falling to a 2-0 defeat at Arda Kardzhali.

Historical meetings between these two sides in Sofia heavily favour the home side avoiding defeat, with Septemvri recording one victory and four draws across their five home head-to-head encounters against Botev Vratsa. Given the contrasting away form of the visitors and Septemvri's recent defensive stability, the hosts are positioned well to maintain their momentum.

Confidence68%

Septemvri Sofia or Draw — 76% confidence

Septemvri Sofia are unbeaten in their last three league outings with two wins and a draw, whereas Botev Vratsa have lost all four of their away matches this season. Additionally, Botev Vratsa have never won an away fixture against Septemvri Sofia in five previous meetings, recording four draws and one loss.

Under 2.5 Goals — 68% confidence

Both teams have produced low attacking output through seven rounds, with Septemvri Sofia averaging 0.7 goals scored per game and Botev Vratsa averaging 0.6 overall and 0.5 on the road. Septemvri's last three league matches have produced scorelines of 1-0, 1-0 and 1-1, pointing towards another low-scoring affair.

These two calls are about different parts of the match (double chance and total goals), so neither one determines the other. The figure shown is the lower of the two — a combo can never be more likely than its weaker leg.
