Spartak Varna have stabilized their form with three straight draws against tough opposition including CSKA Sofia and Ludogorets, losing only once in five home games this season. In contrast, Lokomotiv Sofia remain winless after nine rounds with five defeats and four draws. Spartak have also won three of five head-to-head meetings hosted in Varna.

Slavia Sofia have maintained a solid defensive record across the first eight rounds, allowing an average of only 0.8 goals per game and losing just twice. Spartak Varna enter on a five-game winless run and have conceded three goals per game on average across their three away fixtures. With Slavia having avoided defeat in six of eight league matches and drawing three of four at home, backing the home side to win or draw covers the most probable match outcomes.

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.
