Spartak Varna

CSKA Sofia remain unbeaten in league play with five victories and one draw from six matches, while keeping clean sheets in both of their away fixtures so far. Spartak Varna have won just one of their four home matches this season and have lost seven of the last nine meetings against CSKA Sofia across all competitions. Backing the away side to win or draw covers the possibility of a tight contest similar to Spartak Varna's recent home draw against Ludogorets.

Ludogorets meet the high bar for a straight away win selection due to an overwhelming statistical advantage across multiple indicators. The visitors sit top of the First League with five wins from six games and an average of 2.5 goals scored per away fixture. In contrast, Spartak Varna have lost three consecutive league matches, conceding 10 goals in that span. Furthermore, historical head-to-head records strongly favor Ludogorets, who have won seven of the last eight meetings between the sides, including all four played at Spartak Varna.
